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.

Dear sir, My grandma have been blood pressure and diabetes since 10 years and her usual treatment or medication are going on. When her legs are swelled extremely ,she reached to a cardiologist.

Yes it is safe to use these medicines in diabetic. But what is reason for swelling. If not investigated then get her tests done. With these medicines and in elderly keep checking her electrolytes periodically.

I am diagnosed with RHD and had open heart surgery for Mitral valve repair. I am taking Concor 2.5 mg and Pinom 20 mg every day along with penis 800 mg. May I know why I am using this and how it is supporting me medically?

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.

Health Query

Today I diagnosed with bp 160/112 at 9 pm. I am using tables olmezest 10 in the morning and olmetime 20 in the night. Should I continue this or should I look for another. Now am in usa for a business trip.

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

Hello, Thanks for the query.
BP 160/80 mm Hg is high, ideally it should be around 120 to 130/ 70 to 80 mm Hg. You may have to increase the dose of Olmesartan to 40 mg a day.
With HbA1c% 6% diabetes seems to be well controlled. Thanks
