Olmat MT 25 Tablet ER

Product introduction
Olmat MT 25 Tablet ER is a prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By effectively lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of serious heart-related issues such as heart attacks and strokes. Starting treatment early with this medicine can also improve the survival rate in individuals who have experienced a heart attack.

This medicine should be taken with food at the same time each day to maintain stable levels in the bloodstream. It is important to continue taking it exactly as prescribed, even if you start feeling better, because high blood pressure often does not show noticeable symptoms. Suddenly stopping the medicine without medical advice can worsen your condition. Along with the medication, regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet can further help in controlling blood pressure. Always follow the guidance of your doctor while using this medicine.

Some common side effects that may occur include nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, headache, low blood pressure, weakness, and higher levels of potassium in the blood. While taking this medicine, avoid consuming foods or supplements high in potassium. It may cause dizziness, so avoid driving or standing up too quickly. During treatment, your doctor may recommend regular tests to monitor blood pressure, blood sugar levels, kidney function, and electrolyte balance.

Before starting the medicine, inform your doctor if you have any existing liver or kidney conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this tablet. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medications you are taking, especially those used for heart problems or blood pressure control.

Uses of Olmat MT Tablet ER
This medicine is primarily prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension).

Benefits of Olmat MT Tablet ER in hypertension
Olmat MT 25 Tablet ER combines two active ingredients, Amlodipine and Metoprolol Succinate, which work together to lower blood pressure through different mechanisms. These ingredients help relax blood vessels, reduce the workload on the heart, and make it easier for the heart to pump blood effectively throughout the body. This results in reduced blood pressure levels.

By keeping your blood pressure under control, this medicine lowers the chances of developing complications such as heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage. It is important to take the medication regularly as prescribed, even if you do not feel any immediate changes, as it works over time to keep you healthy. Alongside the medication, maintaining an active lifestyle and eating a nutritious diet can further enhance its benefits.
