Olmesar CH 40 mg/6.25 mg Tablet

Description

Olmesar CH 40 mg/6.25 mg Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg) and a lower dose of Chlorthalidone (6.25mg). This formulation is designed for patients who need moderate diuretic support along with angiotensin II receptor blockade for effective blood pressure control.

• Olmesartan Medoxomil relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II receptors, reducing blood pressure.

• Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps eliminate excess sodium and water from the body, assisting in blood pressure reduction.

This combination helps achieve better blood pressure control while minimizing the risk of electrolyte imbalance or excessive diuresis.

Common Uses:

• Management of hypertension

• Patients requiring combination therapy with a mild diuretic

• Reducing cardiovascular risks associated with prolonged high blood pressure

Key Information:

• Usually taken once daily, with or without food.

• Take at the same time each day for consistent effect.

Possible Side Effects:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness
