Olkem 20 Tablet’1*15

Product introduction
Olkem 20 Tablet is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure helps prevent future heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. It works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily, reducing the workload on the heart.

Olkem 20 Tablet may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain consistent blood levels. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly may worsen your condition.

Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, reducing salt intake, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight can enhance the effectiveness of this medicine. Common side effects include dizziness, cough, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, and runny nose. These are usually mild and temporary.

Before starting Olkem 20 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels may be advised during treatment.
