Olmesartan Health Feed

Hi. Never ever skip your BP tablets. Tablet is available in alternate names like Pinom, Olmat, Olmezest.

yes, both are of the same chemical, but manufactured by different companies. you can safely take either of the two.

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

H is for an additional molecule called as hydrochlorthiazide and which might be required to control her bp.

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

Your bp is within normal range. No need to change medicines. Monitor your bp randomly. If majority readings are less than 140/90, then continue the same medicines no need to change.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user, follow the following routine for better control of your hypertension. 1) lifestyle modifications: yoga/exercise with diet rich in green leafy vegetables and healthy fats. 2) a routine night sleep at least 6-8 hrs
3) pharmacotherapy: currently you are on olmesartan 20 mg. Keep recording your bp once in every 15 days
4) connect with your doctor if you are symptomatic (headache, blurred vision, palpitations).

Mention your age and do you have any associated chronic illnesses like diabetes besides hypertension and also mention your bmi with respect to weight and height. Have you done echocardiography ,ecg, serum sodium ,creatinin, serum potassium ever.
You switch from olmezest h to olmezest am ,but keep check on bp readings and follow about said investigation once atleast so that you can keep record of your cardiac status.
Feel free for anykind of consultation.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. I learn that you have Hypothyroidism and hypertension. But there is absolutely no mention of necessary details like T4, T3 & TSH levels, BP readings, dosage of Levothyroxine being taken and also dosage of other drugs taken. Without any of these details, it is difficult to give any opinion.
In pregnancy first choice drug for hypertension is Methyledopa, then Labetolo and Nifedipine. Olmesartan is contraindicated.

Trio is much more potent than olmisartan h 40 will reduce BP by about 10-15 mm, trio by double this amount.
