Overview Olrace CH 40mg/12.5mg Tablet

Hypertonia-Control 40mg/12.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly raises the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. This medication can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized based on your response and health status. Consistent daily timing is recommended. Continue treatment as directed by your physician; discontinuation may increase cardiovascular risks. The formulation includes a diuretic, increasing urination; therefore, avoid late-evening doses (within four hours of bedtime). Regular use, even during symptom-free periods, is crucial for optimal blood pressure control. High blood pressure often presents without noticeable symptoms. 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 regulation, not a side effect. While less frequent, other side effects are possible. Review the accompanying patient information leaflet and report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor; dose adjustment or alternative treatment may be considered. This medication is contraindicated in pregnancy. Consult your physician before use if you have kidney or liver impairment, cardiac conditions, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and side effects.
