Olesta-AM 5/20mg Tablet - Olmesartan Plus Amlodipine Dual Antihypertensive

Olesta-AM 5/20mg Tablet by IBL Operation (Searle) combines Olmesartan Medoxomil 20mg with Amlodipine 5mg, providing dual-mechanism control of high blood pressure. This is a prescription required medicine for patients whose hypertension is not adequately controlled by monotherapy.

Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that further relaxes vascular smooth muscle. Together they offer additive blood pressure reduction with one convenient daily tablet.

Key Benefits

• Two complementary mechanisms in one daily tablet
• Superior blood pressure control versus single agents
• Reduces cardiovascular and stroke risk
• Improves adherence with simplified regimen
• Smoothes 24 hour blood pressure variability

How to Use

Take Olesta-AM 5/20mg Tablet once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Swallow whole with water. Monitor blood pressure as advised by your physician. Do not stop Olesta-AM abruptly - sudden discontinuation can cause rebound hypertension. Any dose change must be made under medical supervision.

Safety Information

Watch for ankle swelling (common with amlodipine), dizziness on standing, palpitations, flushing, or persistent severe diarrhea. Avoid in pregnancy - ARBs can harm the fetus.
