Olmesartan
Generic alternative to Benicar
Olmesartan is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which work by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily, thereby lowering blood pressure.
How is this medication used?
Olmesartan is taken orally, usually once a day, with or without food. It's important to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in your bloodstream. The dosage depends on your medical condition and response to treatment.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of olmesartan include dizziness, lightheadedness, or mild flu-like symptoms. Rarely, it can cause serious kidney problems or increase potassium levels in the blood. Severe allergic reactions to this drug are rare but require immediate medical attention.
What are the potential interactions?
Olmesartan can interact with certain medications such as diuretics (water pills), potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, and lithium. It's also important to avoid taking NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and naproxen, without your doctor's approval, as they can decrease its efficacy and increase the risk of kidney problems.
