Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg) + Amlodipine (5mg)

Overview Volmisar AM 20mg/5mg Tablet

Amlodipine/Valsartan 20mg/5mg tablets combine two blood pressure-regulating medications, reducing the long-term risk of stroke and heart attack. This medication can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily dosing, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Dosage is personalized based on your response and health status. Continued use, even feeling well, is vital for sustained blood pressure control and risk reduction. Don't discontinue unless advised by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications—increased physical activity, smoking cessation, and a low-sodium, low-fat diet—enhance its effectiveness. Common side effects may include ankle/foot swelling, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, altered taste, indigestion, and fatigue. Avoid activities requiring alertness (like driving) until you understand its effects. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Inform your physician of any pre-existing kidney or liver issues, severe dehydration, pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting treatment. Regular blood pressure monitoring and potential kidney function tests will be part of your treatment plan.
