Overview Olmecort-H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet

HCTZ/Olmesartan 12.5mg/20mg tablets combine two medications to manage hypertension via distinct mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. This medication can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized and should be taken consistently at the same time daily, as directed by your physician. Continue taking it unless instructed otherwise. Due to its diuretic component, increased urination is expected; therefore, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use is crucial for optimal benefit, even during asymptomatic periods, as high blood pressure often presents without symptoms. Cessation may increase stroke or heart attack risk. Dizziness is the most common side effect; others include fatigue, headache, weakness, chest pain, and swelling. Frequent urination is a normal effect of the diuretic, not a side effect. While rare, other side effects are possible. Increased intraocular pressure, potentially causing permanent eye damage if untreated, is a possibility. Review the accompanying patient information leaflet and contact your doctor regarding persistent or bothersome side effects; dosage adjustments or alternative treatments may be considered. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before use if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and side effects.
