Overview Olegard CH 20mg/12.5mg Tablet

Cardiovasc Duo 20mg/12.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of serious complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. Cardiovasc Duo can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized based on response and medical history. Consistent daily timing is recommended. Continue taking this medication as directed by your physician. The diuretic component may increase urination, therefore avoid doses within four hours of bedtime. Regular use, even during symptom-free periods, is crucial for optimal blood pressure control. Hypertension often presents without noticeable symptoms, and discontinuation increases cardiovascular event risk. Dizziness is a common side effect; others include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and hypotension. Increased urination is an intended effect of the diuretic, contributing to blood pressure regulation, not a side effect. Although rare, other side effects may occur. Always refer to the patient information leaflet and contact your doctor regarding any persistent or bothersome side effects; dosage adjustment or alternative therapies may be considered. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, or if you have kidney, liver, heart, or diabetic conditions. Alcohol consumption may intensify blood pressure lowering effects and increase the likelihood of adverse events.
