You do not usually feel any direct benefit from taking this medicine, but it works in the long term to keep you well.

What are the serious side effects of Olmetor-H Tablet?

Serious side effects may also include aching, tender or weak muscles not caused by exercise and swelling of the hands, feet or ankles. Olmetor-H Tablet 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.
Can Olmetor-H Tablet affect my fertility or sex life?
Some blood pressure medicines (including water pills like hydrochlorothiazide) may affect a man’s ability to gain or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction). However, it is thought that other blood pressure medicines can actually improve erectile dysfunction. If you are worried or notice some changes, talk to your doctor. There is no firm evidence which suggests any effect on the fertility of either men or women with the use of Olmetor-H Tablet.
For how long do I need to take Olmetor-H Tablet? Is it safe to take long term?
You may have to take Olmetor-H Tablet life long. Olmetor-H Tablet controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Olmetor-H Tablet 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, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine and potassium levels to keep a track of how well your kidneys are working.
Can I take Olmetor-H Tablet before surgery?
Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Olmetor-H Tablet 24 hours before surgery. This is because Olmetor-H Tablet can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics. So, inform your doctor that you are taking Olmetor-H Tablet if you will be given general anesthetics (medicines that put you to sleep) or are scheduled to have any surgery.
