Olmesartan Tablet Side Effect

Updated

Both of my kidneys are polycystic. My mother had it and two brothers have it. My BP was not rising, as far as I know, unless very unusual circumstances. One doctor near my town prescribed me Olmin 20 LN. Which contains Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg and Cilnidipine 10 mg. Nephrologist doctor also said no problem. But when I read side effects of Olmesartan, it includes rising Serum Creatinine which I recently experienced, may be due to an unsuitable diet for my kidneys or may be for starting Olmin 20 LN. Should I stop it? I am taking homeopathic medicine for kidneys and a restricted diet. So I think of stopping Olmin 20 LN? Please guide.

It would best to consult your doctor and not stop the medication, without their approval and supervision.

These types of medications are often prescribed for those with kidney issues, or who are diabetic, to help protect from possible kidney damage, since they have been shown to do so, thus stopping it creates the risk of your worsening your condition.

What type of diet have you been engaging in?

The FDA lists other typical side effects of Olmesartan as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

Thanks for your comments. I almost avoided dung non veg aa suggested by he homeopath. Regular moderate exercise. I have already reduced intake of Olmesartan Olmin 20 LN tablet. Started with one alternating days. Now on one after two days. Monitoring BP. It's normal 120-30 / 80- 90. I hope I can get rid of this tablet and continue homoeopathy.
