Olmesartan Forums

I am taking olmesartan + metoprolol 50 in the morning and amlodipine + hydrochlorthiazide 5/12.5 in the evening. Despite that, whenever I eat a high sodium diet my bp becomes very high (170/90). I was advised to take met xl t (telmisarta) instead as olmesartan causes me side effects. Please advise. ## Well, it would seem that you are sodium sensitive and are always going to have to watch your sodium intake, according to NIH studies. As to the medications, Met Xl contains a time released formulation of Metoprolol, not Telmisartan. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Who told you it contained Telmisartan? ## Since changing to generic Benicar (olmesartan), my blood pressure has skyrocketed. Ple...

Is there a difference between Tri olmesar H 20 mg and Triolmesar 20 mg? Are they both the same or there is composition difference? ## The correct names are Olmesar H and Triolmesar. Olmesar H contains the active ingredients Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, while Triolmesar contains the active ingredients Olmesartan, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Amlodipine, so they are different, and you should take the one prescribed by your doctor. Both medications are used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

Has your doctor prescribed both? ## I had been taking olmetrack h 40 for a while but my doctor changed it to olmezest ch 40.

My dr prescribed me a tablet for controlling my blood pressure. The tablet's name is Olmin 20 H but i forgot when i have to take it now... Is it daily after meals or before meals? Pls help me. Thank you. ## Olmin-H contains the active ingredients Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide and the best time to take it would be with a meal, to help minimize some of the side effects it can cause, such as nausea and dizziness. Additionally, you should make sure to take it in the morning, because the Hydrochlorothiazide can cause increased urination and taking it late in the day could cause you to have to get up several times during the night to use the bathroom.

Every day, I take an Olmesar H 40 tablet in the morning as a part of my daily regimen. However, I also have a habit of indulging in alcohol once a week, where I tend to have around three pegs. I am curious and slightly concerned about how this combination of medication and alcohol may affect my health in the long term or if there would be any immediate implications? ## It could worsen the side effects, according to the U.S. FDA, so you may experience more nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination than usual. Additionally, the AMA reports that high amounts of alcohol risks causing cardiotoxicity and liver damage, or liver failure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I drink alcohol daily (5 pegs). Can I take Olmesar-H (Olmesartan) 40mg in the morning?

My wife has been prescribed Olmesartan, but the Doctor gave telmestran. Is there any major change in the medicine as the generic is the same perhaps. ## They are in the same medication class, but they are two different medications, Telma contains Telmisartan, rather than Olemsartan. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. She should be able to smoothly switch from one to the other. Did the doctor mention any reason for the change?

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.
