Olmezest Beta 25 Tablet ER

Olmezest Beta 25 Tablet ER is prescribed for the management of high blood pressure. By bringing blood pressure under control, it reduces the chances of serious complications like heart attack and stroke. Early initiation of this treatment can also improve recovery and survival in individuals who have had a heart attack.

It is recommended to take this tablet with food at the same time every day so that the level of medicine in the body remains steady. Continue taking it exactly as advised by your doctor, even if you start feeling well, because high blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms on its own. Stopping the medicine suddenly may worsen your condition. Along with the treatment, adopting healthy lifestyle habits such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a balanced diet can give better results.

While using this medicine, you may experience nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, weakness, or changes in taste. Some people may notice cold hands and feet, slow heart rate, lightheadedness when standing up, or increased potassium in the blood. It can also occasionally cause breathlessness, abdominal discomfort, increased uric acid, or raised triglyceride levels. These effects are often mild and temporary, but if they continue or bother you, inform your doctor. Since it may cause drowsiness or affect alertness, avoid driving or operating machines if such symptoms occur. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance may be recommended during treatment.

Before beginning this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy because of the risk to the unborn baby, but it may be used under special circumstances if the doctor considers it essential. Breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before use.

Benefits
This tablet combines two active medicines, Olmesartan Medoxomil and Metoprolol Succinate. They work in different ways to control blood pressure. Olmesartan relaxes blood vessels, while Metoprolol reduces heart rate and the force of contraction. Together, they ease the workload on the heart and improve circulation, thereby lowering blood pressure and protecting against long-term complications.

How to take

How it works
The combination medicine contains an angiotensin receptor blocker (Olmesartan Medoxomil) and a beta blocker (Metoprolol Succinate). Together, they relax blood vessels, slow down the heart, and make it easier for blood to circulate through the body.

Important precautions
Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can worsen side effects like dizziness or low blood pressure. Driving should be avoided if you feel sleepy or lightheaded. People with severe kidney or liver problems should use this medicine cautiously and may require dose adjustments.

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is almost due, skip the missed one and continue your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
