Wilgesic Forte Tablets

Wilgesic Forte Tablets is a tablet made by Searle Company Limited that contains Olmesartan + Amlodipine + Hydrochlorothiazide, a three-in-one blood pressure combination (ARB, calcium channel blocker and thiazide diuretic). It is used for high blood pressure. Pack size: 14 tablets.

Uses of Wilgesic Forte Tablets

Wilgesic Forte Tablets is used to treat high blood pressure in adults whose blood pressure is not well controlled on two medicines, or who already take these three medicines separately. Combining them in one tablet makes treatment simpler. Keeping blood pressure under control helps lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney damage.

How Wilgesic Forte Tablets works

Olmesartan blocks angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. Amlodipine relaxes the muscle in artery walls by blocking calcium entry. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water. The three actions together lower blood pressure more than any one alone.

Possible side effects

With Wilgesic Forte Tablets, the side effects people mention most often are:

• Avoid potassium supplements and check with your doctor before taking anti-inflammatory painkillers or lithium.
• Get up slowly to avoid dizziness, especially in hot weather or if you have been sweating or vomiting.
