Olmesartan Medoxomil may also cause symptoms that may indicate high potassium levels in the blood, such as nausea, diarrhea, muscle weakness and change in heart rhythm. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately.
Q. Does Olmesartan Medoxomil have a diuretic?
Olmesartan Medoxomil does not have a diuretic. Olmesartan Medoxomil is a medicine used to lower high blood pressure. It belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). These medicines lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. When prescribed by a doctor, Olmesartan Medoxomil can also be combined with a diuretic for providing additional benefit in the reduction of blood pressure.
Q. For how long do I need to take Olmesartan Medoxomil? Is it safe to take long term?
You may have to take Olmesartan Medoxomil life long. Olmesartan Medoxomil controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Olmesartan Medoxomil is generally considered safe to be taken for long term. In some cases, long-term use may adversely affect the kidneys and the kidneys may not function as they should. Therefore, to keep a track of how well your kidneys are working, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine and potassium levels.
Q. Can I take Olmesartan Medoxomil before surgery?
Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Olmesartan Medoxomil 24 hours before surgery. This is because Olmesartan Medoxomil can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics. So, tell your doctor that you are taking Olmesartan Medoxomil if you will be given general anesthetics (medicines that put you to sleep) or are scheduled to have any surgery.
