The tablet containing Olmesartan 40 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is available under various brand names, such as Azor (in the US), Olmezest AM, Olmark A, and OLsar-A, and also as a generic.
Key Information
- Active Ingredients: Olmesartan medoxomil (40 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker (CCB).
- Mechanism of Action: The two medicines work together to relax blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
- Primary Use: Management of hypertension in adults, either alone or in combination with other agents. It helps reduce the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
- Administration: It is typically taken by mouth once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. The tablet should be swallowed whole; do not chew, crush, or break it.
Important Precautions and Side Effects
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: This medication is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially the second and third trimesters, as it can harm the unborn baby. Consult a doctor immediately if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Breastfeeding is also not recommended while using this medicine.
- Common Side Effects: Dizziness, headache, swelling in the ankles or feet (edema), flushing, tiredness, and upset stomach. These usually go away as your body adjusts to the medicine.
- Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe or persistent diarrhea with weight loss, new or worsening chest pain, signs of kidney problems (change in urine amount), or symptoms of a high potassium level (muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat).
- Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications (prescription, OTC, herbal supplements) you are taking, especially other blood pressure medicines (like aliskiren), potassium supplements, NSAIDs, lithium, and certain immunosuppressants.
- Lifestyle: Avoid consuming alcohol, as it can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect and worsen dizziness. Your doctor may also recommend lifestyle changes such as a low-salt diet, regular exercise, and not smoking.
Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice regarding the use, dosage, and potential side effects of this medication.
