Overview Olvas-H Tablet

Olvas-H Tablet combines two medications to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated hypertension significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. This medication can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized based on your health status and response. For optimal effectiveness, take it at the same time daily and continue treatment as directed by your physician. Containing a diuretic, increased urination is expected, therefore avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Consistent use is crucial, even during symptom-free periods, as hypertension often lacks overt symptoms; discontinuation raises the risk of cardiovascular events. Dizziness is the most frequent side effect; others include weakness, headache, fatigue, chest discomfort, and swelling. Increased urination is a drug effect, not a side effect. While rare, other side effects are possible. Elevated intraocular pressure, potentially causing permanent eye damage if untreated, is a rare possibility. Always review the accompanying patient information leaflet and report bothersome or persistent side effects to your doctor, who may adjust your dosage or prescribe an alternative. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Consult your physician before use if you have kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption can exacerbate hypotension and may intensify side effects.
