Overview Olraas AM 40mg/5mg Tablet

Amlodipine/Olmesartan 40mg/5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to effectively manage hypertension. This dual action reduces the long-term risk of stroke and heart attack. These tablets can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily use at the same time, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Dosage is individualized based on your health and response. Continued use, even when feeling well, is vital for sustained blood pressure control and risk reduction. Don't discontinue unless advised by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise, smoking cessation, and a low-sodium, low-fat diet, enhance the medication's effectiveness. Common side effects include peripheral edema, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, altered taste, nausea, and fatigue. Avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until you understand the medication's effects. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing kidney or liver conditions, or severe dehydration, before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use.
