Olmesartan Medoxomil 40mg Tablets
SKU GME876Product Introduction
Olmesartan Medoxomil 40mg is an angiotensin-receptor blocker used for high blood pressure. It helps maintain pressure control and reduces the strain imposed on the heart and blood vessels by hypertension.
How to use
Take with or without food at the same time each day. Allow regular measurements to show the response over the following weeks rather than taking extra doses for isolated high readings. Kidney function and potassium are monitored during treatment changes.
How it works
Olmesartan medoxomil is converted to olmesartan, which blocks angiotensin II at AT1 receptors. This reduces vasoconstriction and aldosterone-related effects, lowering blood pressure.
Side effects
Dizziness, low blood pressure, raised potassium and kidney-function changes can occur. Severe persistent diarrhoea with weight loss, fainting or facial swelling needs prompt assessment.
Important information
Do not use during pregnancy. Dehydration, renal artery narrowing and potassium-raising medicines increase risk. Rare sprue-like enteropathy can develop months or years after treatment begins. NSAIDs can reduce the pressure effect and increase renal risk.
Uses
- Hypertension.
Benefits
Provides sustained blood-pressure reduction, helping reduce the long-term vascular burden of uncontrolled hypertension.
Can Olmesartan Medoxomil 40mg cause cough like an ACE inhibitor?
A persistent ACE-inhibitor-type cough is less common because olmesartan does not inhibit bradykinin breakdown.
Why is persistent diarrhoea important?
Olmesartan can rarely cause an enteropathy with chronic diarrhoea and weight loss, even after long-term use.
Can potassium supplements be added?
They can increase hyperkalaemia risk, particularly with impaired kidney function.
Does it treat a sudden hypertensive emergency?
No. Severe pressure elevation with chest pain, neurological symptoms or breathlessness needs urgent assessment.
Can it continue during pregnancy?
No. Renin-angiotensin blockers can harm fetal development, particularly the kidneys, and treatment must be changed promptly.
