Overview Olmio H 12.5mg/40mg Tablet

Combining two active ingredients, the Olmio H 12.5mg/40mg tablet effectively manages hypertension through dual mechanisms. Untreated hypertension significantly increases the risk of serious complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. This medication can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized and should be taken consistently at the same time daily, as prescribed by your physician. Continue treatment as directed; discontinuation can raise the risk of cardiovascular events. The formulation includes a diuretic, increasing urination, so avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use, even during symptom-free periods, is crucial for optimal blood pressure control. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, headache, weakness, chest discomfort, and swelling; frequent urination is not a listed side effect. Less frequent side effects may include increased intraocular pressure, potentially causing permanent eye damage if left untreated. Always review the accompanying patient information leaflet; report any concerning or persistent side effects to your doctor. Dosage adjustment or alternative medication may be considered. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your physician before use if you have kidney, liver, heart, or diabetic conditions. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to its potential to exacerbate hypotension and side effects.
