Olmedip 10mg/40mg Tablet

Olmedip 10mg/40mg Tablet is a tablet made by Shrooq that contains Olmesartan + Amlodipine 10mg/40mg, a combination of an angiotensin receptor blocker and a calcium channel blocker. It is used for high blood pressure. Pack size: 20 tablets.

Uses of Olmedip 10mg/40mg Tablet

Olmedip 10mg/40mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure in adults when a single medicine has not brought it under control. Having two medicines in one tablet makes treatment simpler and helps keep blood pressure lower over the long term. This reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage, even though high blood pressure itself often causes no symptoms.

How Olmedip 10mg/40mg Tablet works

Olmesartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, so blood vessels are no longer tightened by this hormone. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the muscle in artery walls. Together they widen the blood vessels in two different ways, lowering blood pressure more than either alone.

Possible side effects

Olmedip 10mg/40mg Tablet suits most people well, but some notice:

• Swelling of the ankles or feet
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Flushing
• Tiredness

Get emergency help for swelling of the face, lips or throat or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about severe, long-lasting diarrhoea with weight loss, or chest pain that is new or getting worse.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it regularly, even when you feel well, and get up slowly if it makes you light-headed.
• Your doctor may check your kidney function and potassium levels, and should know if you have liver disease, a narrowed heart valve or heart failure.
• Avoid potassium supplements and potassium-containing salt substitutes unless advised, and check before taking NSAIDs or lithium.
• Large amounts of grapefruit juice can increase the effect of amlodipine, so it is best avoided.
• It must not be used during pregnancy and is not recommended while breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
