Overview Olmenar 12.5mg/20mg Tablet

Combining two active ingredients, the 12.5mg/20mg Olmenar tablet effectively manages hypertension through dual mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly raises the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications. This medication can be taken with or without food; dosage is personalized and should be consumed at the same time daily for optimal effect. Continuous use, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Containing a diuretic, increased urination is expected; therefore, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Consistent use offers maximum benefits, even during asymptomatic periods. Discontinuing treatment increases stroke and heart attack risk. While dizziness is the most common side effect, others include weakness, headache, fatigue, chest discomfort, and swelling. Increased urination is a predictable effect, not a side effect. Rarely, elevated intraocular pressure may occur, potentially causing permanent eye damage if left untreated. Always consult the patient information leaflet and report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor; 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 or liver disease, heart problems, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and side effects.
