OLMEZEST H 40 MG 10 Tablets

Olmezest H 40 mg

Olmezest H 40 mg is part of a class of drugs known as ‘anti-hypertensives,’ which are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a long-term (chronic) condition in which blood pressure is consistently greater than usual. This illness, if left untreated, can raise the risk of heart-related ailments such as heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other consequences.

Olmezest H 40 mg comprises the prodrug ‘Olmesartan medoxomil,’ which is hydrolyzed to olmesartan during gastrointestinal absorption. It is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB). Because angiotensin narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure, inhibiting angiotensin can open restricted blood vessels. The blood in the blood arteries can flow more freely as a result of this effect.

Olmezest H 40 mg is a pill that can be taken orally. The doctor determines the medicine’s dosage and duration. With a glass of water, swallow the tablet whole. It should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. Dizziness, headache, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, stomach ache, tiredness, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, bronchitis, flu-like symptoms, cough, pain, especially in the back, bones, or joints, urinary tract infection, blood in the urine, and swelling of the ankles, feet, legs, hands, or arms are all common side effects of Olmesar 20. If you develop severe diarrhea, significant weight loss, or any other side effects, contact your doctor right once.

If you are allergic to ‘olmesartan medoximil’ or any of the other ingredients in Olmesar 20, do not take it. Pregnant women, patients with jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) or gallbladder blockage, patients with diabetes or kidney failure, and those using aliskiren-containing blood pressure medications should not take Olmezest H 40 mg. If you’re taking potassium supplements or any other prescription or non-prescription medications, tell your doctor.

Medicinal Advantages

Olmezest H 40 mg contains the ‘antihypertensive’ ‘Olmesartan medoximil.’ Its primary purpose is to lower blood pressure. It’s an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents the hormone angiotensin from acting on the body. Because angiotensin narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure, inhibiting angiotensin can cause the restricted blood vessels to expand. As a result of this impact, blood flows more smoothly through the blood vessels, decreasing blood pressure.

Use Instructions

The only way to get Olmezest H 40 mg is to take it as a tablet. The doctor determines the dosage and duration of the medication. With a glass of water, swallow the tablet whole. It should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. For best effects, take the drug at the same time every day.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Hypertension is a long-term (chronic) condition in which blood pressure remains consistently higher than usual. It happens when the blood’s push against the blood vessel wall is too great. This disorder can lead to angina (chest pain) and a heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). High blood pressure harms the brain, kidneys, and eyes, among other organs. Obesity, smoking, diabetes, alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, stress, and kidney disease all raise the risk of high blood pressure issues.

FAQs

Olmesartan is a blood pressure medication that lowers high blood pressure. It is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB) that widens narrowed blood vessels by blocking angiotensin (a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure). By blocking angiotensin, narrowed blood vessels can be widened. As a result of this impact, blood flows more smoothly through the blood vessels, decreasing blood pressure.

As long as your doctor has recommended it, you can safely take olmesartan. You should not stop taking your blood pressure medication suddenly because it is a life-long problem. Stopping Olmesartan could result in high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke in the future.

You should not stop taking Olmesartan without first talking to your doctor. Before gradually reducing the dose and quitting the prescription, the doctor may monitor your blood pressure for at least two weeks.

If you’re taking Olmesartan, tell your doctor before surgery since it needs to be stopped because it can reduce blood pressure even more when combined with general anesthesia.

Olmesartan is a category C medication that can harm a developing fetus. As a result, it is not advised to be used by pregnant women.

Take the drug if it has been less than 2 hours since the last dosage. If it’s almost time for the next dose, though, don’t double it. Take the next dose at the scheduled time.
