Product introduction
Olkem 40 CT Tablet is a combination of two medicines – Olmesartan and Chlorthalidone – that helps to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess water and salt from the body, thereby improving blood flow and reducing pressure on the heart. Regular use of this medicine helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

Olkem 40 CT Tablet may be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Since it contains a diuretic (water pill), avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent frequent urination at night. Take it regularly, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.
