About Olmy H 40 Tablet 10

Olmy H 40 Tablet is used to control high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults, especially when a single medicine does not give enough control. It is a combination medicine containing olmesartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic).

Keeping blood pressure controlled helps protect the heart, brain and kidneys and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. Take it in the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor. Continue it even when you feel well.

Reduce salt (pickles, papad, chips, packaged snacks), stay physically active, keep to a healthy weight and limit alcohol to support blood pressure control.

Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, gout or diabetes, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. This medicine should be avoided in pregnancy. Your doctor may check your kidney function and body salts. Report marked dizziness, fainting or muscle cramps. Follow the prescribed dose, frequency and duration, report persistent or serious side effects, and do not stop the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
