Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines, namely: Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.

This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic or water pill), removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Together, both lower fluid overload, blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduce the future risk of a heart attack.

About Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's

Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's is an 'anti-hypertensives' medication primarily used for lowering the 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.

Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines, namely: Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking 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. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolytes overload from the body. Together, Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's lowers the fluid overload, raised blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduce the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.

You can take Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's with food or without food with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. You may experience nausea, upset stomach, dehydration, headache, diarrhoea, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure in some cases. Most of these side effects of Olminir H 40 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 the doctor has told you. In rare cases, Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's can cause a condition that results in the skeletal muscle problem, leading to further kidney failure. 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.

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 any kidney or liver or heart disease or are diabetic. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not take Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's as it is category D pregnancy drug and can harm the baby. Do not use Olminir H 40 Tablet 10's if you cannot urinate, are dehydrated, have low blood pressure (hypotension), and have or have had cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping of 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.
