OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET

OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET is an 'anti-hypertensives' medication 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.

OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET is a combination of three medicines: Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide and Olmesartan. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Altogether, it helps to lower high blood pressure, chest pain (angina) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolyte overload from the body. Together, OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET lowers fluid overload, raises blood pressure, improves blood flow and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke. On the other hand, Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently.

You can take OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET with food or without food with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, upset stomach, dehydration, headache, diarrhoea, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness and decreased blood pressure. Most of these side effects of OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET 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. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Do not take this OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET if you have diabetes mellitus, liver and kidney problems and low blood pressure. If you notice unexplained muscle pain, dark colour urine, tenderness or weakness, especially if you also have a fever or unexplained tiredness, immediately contact the doctor. If you have any allergy to amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, and olmesartan, then do not take this OLMEWON PLUS 40MG TABLET. 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.
