UNSAFE
Olme-H may decrease alertness, affect your vision or make you feel sleepy and dizzy. Do not drive if these symptoms occur.
CAUTION
Olme-H should be used with caution in patients with severe kidney disease. Dose adjustment of Olme-H may be needed. Please consult your doctor.
Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advisable for dose adjustment.
CAUTION

Medicine Overview of Olme-H 12.5mg+20mg Tablet
Introduction
Olme-H is a combination of two medicines. It helps to control high blood pressure in different ways. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Olme-H is a medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It is a combination of some medicines that helps to control blood pressure when a single medication is not effective. It helps to reduce high blood pressure, thus lowering the chances of any future heart attack and stroke. It is taken with or without food, preferably in the morning to avoid frequent urination at night....

How Olme-H works
Olme-H is a combination of two medicines: Hydrochlorothiazide and olmesartan which lower blood pressure effectively. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.
Quick Tips
- You have been prescribed Olme-H for the treatment of high blood pressure.
- It can be taken with or without food.
- Olme-H may cause dehydration. Drink plenty of fluids and inform your doctor if you develop extreme thirst, very dry mouth or muscle weakness.

Hypertension, Diabetic nephropathy
Administration
May be taken with or without food.
Adult Dose
Hypertension
Initial: 20 mg/12.5 mg PO qDay
May increase to 40 mg/25 mg after 2 weeks
Hepatic Impairment
Dose adjustment not necessary
Child Dose
Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal Impairment
CrCl <30 mL/min: Not recommended
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to olmesartan medoxomil, hydrochlorothiazide or to other sulfonamide-derived drugs. Severe hepatic & renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min); cholestasis & biliary obstructive disorders; refractory hypokalemia; hypercalcemia; hyponatraemia, symptomatic hyperuricaemia; anuria. Concomitant use w/ aliskiren in patients w/ DM or renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Pregnancy (2nd & 3rd trimester) & lactation.
Mode of Action
Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits the reabsorption of Na and chloride in the distal tubules causing increased excretion of Na and water K and hydrogen ions.
Olmesartan is a selective and competitive angiotensin II Type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist that blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. As a result, olmesartan relaxes blood vessels, hence lowering BP and increases blood supply and oxygen to the heart.
Precaution
Drugs that act on renin-angiotensin system can cause fetal injury and death when used in 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. Olmesartan medoxomil should be discontinued as soon as possible once pregnancy is detected. Symptomatic hypotension may occur in patients who are volume- and/or salt-depleted. May be associated with oliguria, progressive azotaemia, and acute renal failure (rare). Patients with bilateral or unilateral renal artery stenosis may have increased risk of severe hypotension and renal insufficiency. Caution in renal impairment; monitor serum creatinine and potassium levels periodically. Avoid use in severe renal impairment (CrCl< 20 mL/min) and severe hepatic impairment. Caution...

Interaction
Olmesartan medoxomil: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia & changes in renal function w/ aliskiren. May result in deterioration of renal function w/ NSAIDs. May attenuate the antihypertensive effect of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Reduces systemic exposure & peak plasma conc w/ colosevelam HCl.
Hydrochlorothiazide: Potentiation of orthostatic hypotension w/ alcohol, barbiturates or narcotics. Antidiabetic drugs. Potentiation effect w/ other antihypertensives. Reduced absorption w/ cholestyramine & colestipol resins. Intensified electrolyte depletion w/ corticosteroid, ACTH. Decreased response to pressor amines (eg norepinephrine). Increased responsiveness to skeletal muscle relaxants (eg tubocurarine). Reduce the renal clearance of lithium.
