Olvance 40 mg is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Blood pressure helps push blood all around your body. It tends to fluctuate at different times of the day, depending on whether you are active or inactive/, or whether you are worried. You develop high blood pressure when your blood pressure stays higher than the body’s requirement, even when you are calm and relaxed. Usually, hypertension shows no symptoms. The only way to know if your blood pressure is high is to have it checked regularly. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and kidney failure.
The active ingredient of the medicine is Olmesartan, which belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin-II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin II is a substance released inside the body which causes tightening of blood vessels. Olmesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, which causes the relaxation of blood vessels and thereby lowers blood pressure.
Things to consider while using Olvance 40mg tablet
Do not take Olvance 40 mg if you have serious problems with your kidneys and liver, or have diabetes. The use of olmesartan is contraindicated in patients who have experienced hypersensitivity reactions to olmesartan or any of its inactive ingredients. Symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions may include itchiness, rash, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, muscle pain, tenderness, or joint pain. Do not take this antihypertensive agent if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The medication may get into your uterus, or it may pass into the breast milk, and there’s a high chance that your baby may be affected. In case the pregnancy is discovered, antihypertensive treatment should be stopped immediately.
Before you start to take Olvance 40, tell your healthcare provider if you have had any medical conditions, especially liver problems, kidney disease, heart problems, high levels of potassium in your blood, excessive vomiting or diarrhoea, or problems with your adrenal glands. Some medications and Olmesartan may interfere with each other and cause side effects. These include:
- Potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes
- Other medicines used for the treatment of high blood pressure
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or COX-2 inhibitors are medications used to relieve pain, swelling, and other inflammatory symptoms, including those associated with arthritis.
- Other diuretics are also referred to as water tablets.
- Lithium is used for the treatment of mood swings and some depressive symptoms.
- Any medicines that contain aliskiren
- Other medicines that may increase serum potassium
These medicines may interact with Olmesartan or affect how well it works. You may need to adjust the dosage of your medicine, or you may require a different medication. Consult your doctor. Your doctor will advise on this. If you feel lightheaded, dizzy, or faint when getting out of bed or standing up slowly, it may be a sign of a condition called orthostatic hypotension. Be careful while driving or operating machinery until you know how this antihypertensive agent affects you. If you consume alcohol, lightheadedness or dizziness may get worse.
Possible side effects of Olvance 40mg
Olvance helps most people with high blood pressure, but like any other pharmaceutical agent, it may have unwanted side effects. If you are over 65 years of age, you may have increased chances of developing side effects. Inform your healthcare provider if you develop side effects such as headache, cough, feeling lightheaded, or feeling sick, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, bronchitis, unusual tiredness, running or blocked nose, back pain, urinary tract infections, sore throat and discomfort when swallowing, flu-like symptoms, an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach. These common side effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days.
Usage method of Olvance 40mg
Follow all the directions given to you by your healthcare specialist. They will tell you how much of this medicine you need to take every day. This generally depends on your condition and whether you are taking any other medications. If you do not understand the instructions given on your prescription, consult your doctor for help. For most adult patients, the usual starting dose is 20 mg once a day. The dose may need to be increased to 40 mg once a day if necessary. It doesn’t matter whether you take the medicine with or without food.
For children aged 6 to 18 years, the recommended daily dose is one 20 mg tablet. The dose for children usually depends on your child’s weight. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water. Avoid chewing the tablet. Preferably, take the tablet at the same time each day, as this way the medicine will have the best effect. It will also help you remember to take the medicine. Olvance helps to control the condition but is not meant to cure it. Therefore, you must take the medication every day. Continue taking the medicine for as long as your doctor advises.
