Pantie prevents throat infection and further rheumatic damage to valves. Concor and pinom can delay heart muscle weakness that occurs with age, specially after mitral valve replacement. In your case repair was done, so more details are required for final opinion. Best wishes.

Hi.
Olmezest and Olmetime both have same component (Olmesartan), just different brand.
I wonder why your doctor has written 2 different brand of same medicine.
For the BP you are having, I will suggest taking 20mg both in morning and evening.
Thanks

Olmat CT is a combination of two drugs, one directly reduces your bp and the other causes diuresis and indirectly reduces the bp. Olmat 20 has only one drug. So your bp control might get compromised. Better try for another brand with the same drug. Never stop your bp medication which can be dangerous. Always refill your bp medication in advance.
