Overview Olkem-CL Tablet

Cardio-Control Duo tablets combine two active ingredients to effectively manage hypertension. By relaxing blood vessels and easing cardiac workload, it reduces blood pressure, thus lowering the risk of stroke and heart attack. Cardio-Control Duo may be administered with or without food, but consistent daily dosing, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Dosage is personalized based on individual response and condition. Continued use is vital, even during symptom remission, as sustained blood pressure reduction minimizes long-term cardiovascular risks. Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, smoking cessation, and a low-sodium, low-fat diet, will enhance the medication's effectiveness. Common side effects include ankle/foot swelling, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, altered taste, and indigestion. Given potential drowsiness and dizziness, avoid activities requiring alertness until effects are known. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any kidney or liver impairment, or severe dehydration. Pregnant or nursing individuals should seek medical advice before use. Regular blood pressure monitoring and potential kidney function tests are necessary during treatment.
