Olmax Ln 20Mg/10Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 32 years old from Bilaspur

Hello sir, My dad is 64 years old. He suffers from type 2 diabetes and hypertension. He takes olmezest am 40 for HTN. My question is - can he take OLMAX LN 40 as it contains another calcium channel blocker cilnidipine at 10 mg (5 mg cilnidipine is not available with olmesartan. As per my research on pubmed articles are in favor of cilnidipine as cilnidipine is an N-type and L-type CCB that also inhibits sympathomimetic activity in contrast to other DHPs and amlodipine therapy has adverse effects, most commonly pedal edema. So Cilnidipine being an N-type and L-type CCB is associated with lower incidence of pedal edema compared to the L-type channel blocked by amlodipine.

Dr. Vishal Kastwar

Clinically seen effect of Cilnidipine is different from Amlodipine in a lot of patients. Although, 10 mg of Cilnidipine is considered equivalent to 5 mg of Amlodipine, a shift from Amlodipine to Cilnidipine may lead to reduced efficacy atleast fir the first 1-2 weeks. You may change the medicines if unacceptable pedal edema is present.

Hello sir, My dad is 64 years old. He suffers from type 2 diabetes and hypertension. He takes Olmax LN 40 containing olmesartan 40 mg and cilnidipine 10 mg for HTN. He also takes an antiplatelet drug Clopilet A 75 (containing Aspirin 75 mg and Clopidogrel 75 mg) and a statin Lipigo 5 mg (containing rosuvastatin 5 mg). 1.Can he take omega 3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA 500 mg daily? Omega 3 fatty acids have been found to be very useful in reducing synthesis of prostaglandin series 2 molecules and thus are anti inflammatory. Thus is also good for cardiovascular and joint health. The American Heart Association (AHA) also recommends consumption of upto 1000 mg of EPA+DHA for heart health daily.

If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction while taking cilnidipine or any other medication, it's essential to discuss your concerns with your prescribing doctor. They can review your current medication regimen, consider alternative treatment options, or make adjustments to the dosage or timing of your medication to minimize side effects.

At night- Prazosin HCl ER 5 mg and Cilnidipine 10 mg. As I was not feeling my normal self for the last few days (around 11 am daily), I went to a doctor (medical specialist), who found my blood pressure to be low (114/70). Even BP recorded at home for the last two days was lower. Doctor now has advised to stop taking CTD totally and also to stop Prazosin HCl ER 5 mg in the morning. What is your opinion on the doctor's advice, especially with regards to stopping CTD instantly, without any dose reduction. Awaiting an early response please. Best regards.
