About Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet

Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet is a combination of medication containing blood pressure-lowering medicines primarily used to treat high blood pressure. Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet is used alone or in combination with other blood pressure-lowering medications. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet contains Olmesartan (angiotensin receptor blocker) and Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker). Olmesartan works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Amlodipine, on the other hand, acts by relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack or stroke chances. 

You can take Omten-AM 40mg/5mg 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 should take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, drowsiness, ankle swelling, nausea, dizziness, and low blood pressure.

Try not to stop taking Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet on your own. Inform your doctor, and your dose might be gradually lowered to avoid a rise in blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, heart disease, or diabetes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor, as it is not recommended in pregnancy. It should not be given to children less than 12 years of age. Do not use Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet if you have low blood pressure (hypotension) or cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping blood flow to the heart). Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to the Omten-AM 40mg/5mg Tablet.
