Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg) + Amlodipine (5mg)

Overview Olmephage AM 20mg/5mg Tablet

Amlodipine/Olmesartan 20mg/5mg tablets combine two medications to effectively manage hypertension. This dual action reduces the long-term risk of stroke and heart attack. This medication can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily dosing at the same time, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Dosage is personalized based on your health status and response. Continued use, even when feeling well, is vital for sustained blood pressure control and risk reduction; discontinue only under your doctor's guidance. Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, smoking cessation, and a low-sodium, low-fat diet, enhance treatment efficacy. Common side effects may include ankle or foot swelling, drowsiness, lightheadedness, headaches, altered taste perception, indigestion, and fatigue. Due to potential drowsiness and dizziness, avoid activities requiring alertness until the medication's effects are known. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor immediately. Prior to starting treatment, inform your physician of any kidney or liver issues, or significant dehydration. Pregnant or nursing individuals should seek medical advice before use. Regular blood pressure checks and potential kidney function tests will be conducted during treatment.
