Frequently asked questions
What is Olmesar 40 used for?
Olmesar 40 contains olmesartan medoxomil 40 mg, the higher strength of this blood-pressure medicine. It is prescribed when 20 mg has not brought blood pressure down enough.
Olmesar 40 vs Olmesar 20 – which do I need?
Doctors start most people on 20 mg and increase to 40 mg if blood pressure stays high after a few weeks. Never move up on your own – the higher dose needs the same kidney and potassium checks.
Can I take Olmesar 40 along with amlodipine?
Yes, this is a very common combination in India and is available as a single tablet (olmesartan + amlodipine). It should be started by your doctor who will monitor for ankle swelling and low blood pressure.
Can I take Olmezest 40 at night?
Yes, any consistent time works. Some doctors prefer night dosing for better overnight control – follow the time your doctor suggests.
