Description

Omnitan H Tablet is a combination medicine that helps manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Losartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (water pill). Together, they work in two ways: Losartan relaxes blood vessels so blood flows more smoothly, while Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output to remove excess salt and water from the body. This combination helps reduce blood pressure effectively, especially when a single medicine alone is not enough.

Taking Omnitan H Tablet regularly lowers the risk of serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. It should be taken at the same time every day, with or without food, to get the maximum benefit. Since it may increase urination, it is best not to take it close to bedtime. Even if you feel fine, do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms.

Common side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, upset stomach, weakness, or tiredness. Some people may also notice changes in uric acid, cholesterol, or electrolyte levels. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but if they persist, consult your doctor.

Safety considerations:

Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it may increase dizziness and lower blood pressure further.
Pregnancy: Not safe during pregnancy; consult your doctor.
Breastfeeding: May pass into breast milk and could affect the baby, use only if advised.
Driving: May cause sleepiness or dizziness; avoid driving if affected.
Kidney/Liver: Use with caution if you have kidney or liver problems; dose adjustments may be needed.

In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one—never double the dose.
