Overview Olrace CH 20mg/12.5mg Tablet

Cardio-Dual 20mg/12.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to effectively manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of serious complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney disease. Cardio-Dual 20mg/12.5mg may be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized based on your response and health status. Consistent daily intake at the same time is crucial. Continue treatment as directed by your physician. This medication includes a diuretic, increasing urination; therefore, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use, even when feeling well, maximizes therapeutic benefit. Hypertension often presents without symptoms; discontinuation increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Dizziness is the most common side effect; others include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and hypotension. Increased urination is an expected effect of the diuretic component and contributes to blood pressure control. While rare, other side effects may occur. Consult the accompanying patient information leaflet and inform your doctor of persistent or troublesome side effects; dosage adjustments or alternative medications may be considered. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing kidney or liver disease, heart conditions, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and side effects.
