OLMEZEST BETA 50 MG 10 Tablets

Olmezest Beta 50 mg

Olmezest Beta 50 mg belongs to the family of anti-hypertensive medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a long-term (chronic) disorder characterized by chronically elevated blood pressure. If left untreated, this condition might increase the risk of heart-related conditions such as heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and irregular heartbeat, among others.

Olmezest Beta 50 mg contains the prodrug ‘Olmesartan medoxomil,’ which is hydrolyzed during gastrointestinal absorption to olmesartan. It blocks the angiotensin-II receptor (ARB). Because angiotensin constricts blood vessels and elevates blood pressure, blocking it can widen blood vessels that are constricted. This impact allows the blood to flow more freely through the arteries.

Olmezest Beta 50 mg is an orally administered tablet. The doctor chooses the dosage and duration of the medication. With a glass of water, the pill should be swallowed whole. It should not be broken, crushed, or eaten. Common side effects of Olmezest Beta 50 mg include dizziness, headache, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, stomach ache, fatigue, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, bronchitis, flu-like symptoms, cough, pain, especially in the back, bones, or joints, urinary tract infection, blood in the urine, and swelling of the ankles, feet, legs, hands, or arms. Contact your doctor immediately if you have severe diarrhea, considerable weight loss, or any other adverse effects.

Olmezest Beta 50 mg should not be used if you are allergic to olmesartan medoximil or any of the other components. Patients with jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), gallbladder obstruction, diabetes, or renal failure, as well as those taking blood pressure drugs containing aliskiren, should not use Olmezest Beta 50 mg.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Chronic hypertension is a condition in which the blood pressure is continuously higher than normal. It occurs when the blood’s pressure against the vessel wall is excessive. This condition can result in angina and a heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Among other organs, high blood pressure damages the brain, kidneys, and eyes. Obesity, smoking, diabetes, alcohol use, sedentary lifestyle, stress, and renal disease all increase the risk of high blood pressure problems.

FAQs

Olmesartan is a blood pressure medicine used to treat hypertension. Angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB) that dilates constricted blood arteries by inhibiting angiotensin (a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure). By inhibiting angiotensin, it is possible to dilate constricted blood arteries. As a result, blood flows more freely through the blood vessels, resulting in a reduction in blood pressure.
