Overview Olmat 40 CT Tablet

Olmat 40 CT Tablet combines two medications to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated hypertension significantly raises the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. This medication can be taken with or without food, with dosage tailored to individual response and health status. Consistent daily dosing is crucial; continue treatment as directed by your physician. The formulation includes a diuretic, increasing urination; therefore, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use, even during symptom-free periods, is essential for optimal effect, as hypertension often presents asymptomatically. Cessation of treatment increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Dizziness is the most prevalent side effect; others include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and hypotension. Increased urination is an intended diuretic effect, managing blood pressure, not a side effect. While uncommon, other side effects are possible. Consult the patient information leaflet and inform your doctor about persistent or bothersome side effects; dosage adjustment or alternative medication may be considered. This medication is contraindicated in pregnancy and requires medical consultation if you have kidney or liver impairment, cardiac conditions, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may potentiate hypotension and side effects.
