OLMISTRUM CH 20

Olmesartan (20mg), Chlorthalidone (12.5mg)

OLMISTRUM CH 20 is a combination medication consisting of Olmesartan (20mg) and Chlorthalidone (12.5mg). This drug is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), offering a dual-action approach by combining an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (Olmesartan) and a diuretic (Chlorthalidone). By lowering blood pressure, OLMISTRUM CH 20 reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.

How Does It Work?

Olmesartan, one of the key components of OLMISTRUM CH 20, works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten and constrict. By inhibiting this action, Olmesartan helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure.

Chlorthalidone, the other component, is a thiazide-like diuretic that prevents the body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. It increases urine production, helping the body eliminate excess water and salt, which also contributes to lowering blood pressure.

Uses

OLMISTRUM CH 20 is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). By effectively controlling blood pressure, it helps in reducing the risk of complications such as:

• Heart attacks
• Strokes
• Kidney problems

This medication is often prescribed when a single antihypertensive drug does not adequately control blood pressure or when combination therapy is deemed necessary by the healthcare provider.

Dosage

The dosage of OLMISTRUM CH 20 is determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition, response to treatment, and other underlying health factors. Typically, one tablet is taken once daily, with or without food. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain an even level in your blood.

• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible. However, if it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Overdose: In case of an overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of overdose may include severe dizziness, fainting, or unusually low blood pressure.

Side Effects

Like all medications, OLMISTRUM CH 20 can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:

• Dizziness: This may occur especially when standing up quickly. It is advised to get up slowly from a sitting or lying position.
• Dehydration: Due to the diuretic effect of Chlorthalidone, there is a risk of dehydration, which may present as dry mouth, increased thirst, and reduced urine output.
• Electrolyte Imbalance: This includes low levels of potassium or sodium, which can lead to muscle cramps, weakness, or irregular heartbeat.
• Fatigue: Some patients may experience tiredness or general weakness.

Serious Side Effects: Although rare, serious side effects may occur, such as:

• Severe allergic reactions: Rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
• Kidney problems: Signs may include a change in the amount of urine or unusual tiredness.
• Liver problems: Symptoms may include yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or persistent nausea/vomiting.

It is important to contact your healthcare provider if you experience any serious side effects or if common side effects persist or worsen.

Price

The price of OLMISTRUM CH 20 may vary depending on the brand, pharmacy, and location. In India, the cost typically ranges between INR 150 to INR 250 for a strip of 10 tablets. However, prices may vary based on discounts, insurance coverage, and other factors.
