Olmezest CH 40 Tablet

Product introduction
Olmezest CH 40 Tablet combines two medicines that work together to bring down high blood pressure. Controlling hypertension is very important as untreated high blood pressure can damage the heart, brain, and kidneys over time, raising the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.

This tablet may be taken with meals or on an empty stomach. The exact dose will depend on your medical condition and your response to treatment. It is best to take it around the same time each day for steady control of blood pressure. Since one of its components acts as a diuretic, it increases the production of urine, so it is usually recommended to avoid taking it close to bedtime. Continue using the medicine regularly even if you feel well, because high blood pressure usually does not cause noticeable symptoms, yet stopping treatment suddenly can raise health risks.

The most frequent side effect is dizziness. Some people may also feel weak, tired, nauseous, or develop diarrhea, headaches, or a fall in blood pressure. Passing urine more often is expected due to chlorthalidone, which is included to help reduce blood pressure. Other effects such as changes in taste, stomach upset, sore throat, or changes in blood tests may occur but are not very common. If any of these persist or bother you, consult your doctor, who may adjust your dose or recommend another treatment.

Olmezest CH 40 Tablet should not be taken during pregnancy as it may harm the unborn baby. Caution is also required if you have kidney or liver disorders, diabetes, or heart-related problems. Alcohol intake may increase drowsiness and further lower blood pressure, so it is best avoided.

Uses of Olmezest CH 40 Tablet
It is mainly prescribed for managing high blood pressure.

Benefits in hypertension
This medicine combines Olmesartan and Chlorthalidone. Olmesartan works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more freely, lowering blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps remove extra salt and water from the body, which also contributes to controlling hypertension. Together, they provide stronger and more reliable control than using a single medicine alone. Keeping your blood pressure within a healthy range lowers the risk of serious problems such as heart attacks, kidney damage, or strokes.

Possible side effects
People using this medicine may experience nausea, diarrhea, weakness, headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, changes in taste, or stomach upset. It may also cause higher uric acid or lipid levels, electrolyte imbalance, urinary tract infection, altered kidney function, sore throat, or changes in liver function tests. An increase in potassium levels can also occur. Most side effects are mild and settle over time, but medical advice is recommended if they continue or worsen.

How to take
The tablet should be swallowed whole with water. Do not chew or crush it. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at a fixed time each day makes it more effective.

How it works
Olmezest CH 40 Tablet contains two medicines that reduce blood pressure in different ways. Olmesartan relaxes the blood vessels, while Chlorthalidone eliminates extra fluid and salt from the body through urine. The combined effect reduces the strain on the heart and helps maintain blood pressure at healthy levels.

Safety considerations
Alcohol intake can make drowsiness and dizziness worse. This medicine is unsafe in pregnancy and should only be considered in rare, life-threatening cases if advised by a doctor. It is probably not safe during breastfeeding as it may pass into breast milk. Driving should be avoided if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or have blurred vision while on this medicine. People with kidney or liver problems should take it with caution, and it is not advised for those with severe kidney or liver disease.

Missed dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember. If your next dose is due soon, skip the missed one and continue with your usual schedule. Never double the dose to make up for the one you missed.
