Overview Olmex H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet

Cardio-Dual 12.5mg/20mg tablets combine two active ingredients to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. Cardio-Dual 12.5mg/20mg can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized and should be consistent. Continue this medication as directed by your physician. The diuretic component may increase urination, so avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Consistent use is crucial, even if feeling well, as hypertension often presents without symptoms. Discontinuing the medication increases stroke and heart attack risk. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, headache, and weakness; less frequent effects may include chest pain and swelling. Increased urination is expected due to the diuretic. Rarely, increased intraocular pressure may occur, potentially causing permanent vision damage if untreated. Review the accompanying patient information leaflet and report any concerning or persistent side effects to your doctor. Dosage adjustment or alternative medication may be possible. Consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have kidney, liver, heart, or diabetic conditions. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and increase side effects.
