Olmat 20 Tablet

Product Introduction
Olmat 20 Tablet is commonly used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage, especially in individuals with diabetes.

This medicine can be prescribed on its own or combined with other blood pressure medicines. It can be taken with or without meals, during the day or at night, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day for maximum benefit. Even if you feel well or your blood pressure is under control, you should continue taking it regularly, as stopping the medication suddenly could make your condition worse.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle alongside this medicine enhances its effectiveness. Simple changes like regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and reducing salt in your diet can significantly improve your results. Most people tolerate Olmat 20 Tablet well, though some may experience mild side effects such as dizziness, cough, nausea, diarrhea, or indigestion, especially at the start of treatment. Inform your doctor if these symptoms persist or become bothersome.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. This tablet should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without a doctor’s advice. During treatment, your doctor may monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels regularly.

With its once-daily dosage and good tolerability, this medicine offers an effective and convenient option for long-term hypertension management.

How to Take Olmat Tablet

How It Works
Olmat 20 Tablet is classified as an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a natural substance in the body that tightens blood vessels. This action causes the blood vessels to relax, allowing smoother blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload, which in turn lowers blood pressure.
