OLMIHEART H 40 MG TABLET 10

Olmiheart 40 H Tablet belongs to a group of medications called ‘anti-hypertensives’ primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). 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.

Olmiheart 40 H Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan medoximil and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan medoximil 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. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolyte overload from the body. Together, Olmiheart 40 H Tablet lowers blood pressure and fluid overload.

You can take Olmiheart 40 H 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 Olmiheart 40 H Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

In rare cases, Olmiheart 40 H Tablet can cause a condition that results in a skeletal muscle problem, leading to further kidney failure.

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, or heart disease or are diabetic. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not take Olmiheart 40 H Tablet as it is a category D pregnancy drug and may harm the baby. Do not use Olmiheart 40 H Tablet 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).

Olmiheart 40 H Tablet is primarily used to treat high blood pressure. Olmiheart 40 H Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan medoximil is a prodrug and breaks down into active form, i.e., olmesartan once absorbed in the GIT (Gastrointestinal tract). It is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin and relaxes blood vessels. 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, and blood pressure, improve blood flow and reduce the future risk of a heart attack.
