Olmesartan Medoxomil

Uses

Olmesartan Medoxomil is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), the prevention of heart attack and stroke, and heart failure.

How it Works

How Olmesartan Medoxomil works Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting the action of a chemical that typically constricts them. This action lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to various organs and enabling the heart to pump more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Olmesartan Medoxomil include dizziness, headache, fatigue, back pain, and upper respiratory tract infection.

Expert Advice

  • Take it at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
  • It may cause dizziness for the first few days; rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down for an extended period.
  • Your doctor may perform regular tests to monitor the levels of urea, creatinine, and potassium in your blood.
  • Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen, alongside this medication without consulting your doctor, as it may increase potassium levels in the blood.
  • Avoid potassium supplements and potassium-rich foods, such as banana fruit juice, coconut water, and broccoli.
  • Do not take Olmesartan Medoxomil if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Do not stop taking it suddenly without discussing it with your doctor.
