About Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's

Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-hypertensives' primarily used for lowering high blood pressure (hypertension) by removing extra fluid (electrolytes) from the body. High blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against the artery wall is high. As a result, it increases the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's is a combination of three medicines: Olmesartan medoximil, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan medoximil is a prodrug and breaks down into active form, i.e., olmesartan once absorbed in the GIT (Gastrointestinal tract). An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) blocks the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker; it reduces the heart's workload and makes it more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that removes extra water/fluid and certain electrolyte overload from the body. Together, Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's lowers fluid overload, raises blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.

Depending upon your medical condition, you are advised to take Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. The most common side effects of Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's are nausea, upset stomach, dehydration, headache, diarrhoea, electrolyte imbalance, headache, feeling exhausted, swollen ankles, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure in some cases. Most of these side effects of Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless your doctor tells you. In rare cases, Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's can cause a condition that results in a skeletal muscle problem, leading to further kidney failure. If you notice unexplained muscle pain, dark-coloured urine, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also have a fever or unexplained tiredness, immediately contact the doctor. Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and increase heart disease and stroke risk. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, heart disease, or diabetes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not take Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's as it is a category D pregnancy drug and may harm the baby. Do not use the Olmetime AMH 20 Tablet 10's if you cannot urinate, are dehydrated, have low blood pressure (hypotension), or have had cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping blood flow to the heart). Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to this medicine. Reducing table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often helps lower blood pressure.
