Overview Olmesung H 12.5mg/40mg Tablet

H-Olmesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg/40mg tablets combine two medications to manage hypertension through different mechanisms. Untreated hypertension increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. This medication may 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 using this medication until your doctor advises otherwise. Because it includes a diuretic, increased urination is expected; avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use is crucial, even if feeling well, as hypertension often lacks symptoms. Stopping treatment raises stroke and heart attack risk. Common side effects include dizziness, while others may include fatigue, headache, weakness, chest pain, and swelling. Increased urination is a drug effect, not a side effect. Less frequent side effects exist; consult your physician if any persist or are bothersome. Rarely, increased intraocular pressure may occur, potentially leading to permanent vision damage if left unaddressed. Always read the accompanying patient information leaflet and inform your doctor about any side effects. Dose adjustment or alternative medication may be considered. This medication is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and should be discussed with your doctor if you have pre-existing kidney, liver, heart, or diabetes conditions. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate blood pressure lowering and increase the likelihood of side effects.
