Overview Olmo CT 40mg/12.5mg Tablet

Cardio-Tense 40mg/12.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated hypertension significantly increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. Cardio-Tense may be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized and should be taken consistently at the same time daily. Continuous use, as directed by your physician, is crucial. The formulation includes a diuretic, increasing urination; therefore, avoid dosing within four hours of bedtime. Regular use maximizes therapeutic benefit, even during asymptomatic periods, as hypertension often presents without noticeable symptoms. Discontinuing treatment elevates stroke and heart attack risk. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and potentially lower blood pressure. Increased urination is an expected effect of the diuretic component and aids in blood pressure control. While less frequent, other side effects may occur; review the accompanying patient information leaflet and consult your doctor about persistent or bothersome side effects. Dosage adjustment or alternative medication may be considered. This medication is unsuitable during pregnancy and requires consultation with your physician if you have kidney or liver disease, cardiac issues, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption can exacerbate hypotension and potentially worsen side effects.
