What is Olmesartan Medoxomil, Amlodipine?
Olmesartan medoxomil / amlodipine, the active ingredient in Olmesartan/Amlodipine EG, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker combined with a calcium channel blocker presented as an oral tablet for systemic use. It is indicated for the management of hypertension in adult patients, offering complementary mechanisms to lower blood pressure.
GNH USA supplies Olmesartan/Amlodipine EG as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, providing reliable sourcing for regulated markets.
What is Olmesartan Medoxomil, Amlodipine used for?
Olmesartan/Amlodipine is used in the cardiovascular therapeutic area to control elevated blood pressure.
Hypertension: lowers systolic and diastolic pressure in patients with primary hypertension. Essential hypertension: provides additive blood‑pressure reduction when monotherapy does not achieve target levels. Uncontrolled hypertension: employed as combination therapy to reach recommended blood‑pressure goals.
What are the side effects of Olmesartan Medoxomil, Amlodipine?
Common Side Effects: - Dizziness or light‑headedness - Headache - Peripheral edema, especially of the ankles - Flushing or warmth sensation - Fatigue or tiredness - Palpitations or mild tachycardia
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Angioedema involving face, lips or throat - Severe hypotension with syncope - Hepatic enzyme elevation or liver injury - Myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome - Life‑threatening arrhythmias - Severe allergic reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome
What precautions apply to Olmesartan Medoxomil, Amlodipine?
Olmesartan/Amlodipine should be used with clinical judgment and monitoring. - Pregnancy: Category D; avoid unless benefits outweigh risks. - Renal impairment: monitor kidney function and adjust therapy as needed. - Hepatic impairment: use cautiously; liver enzymes should be checked periodically. - Concomitant potassium‑sparing diuretics or supplements: risk of hyperkalemia; monitor serum potassium. - Severe aortic stenosis or cardiogenic shock: contraindicated due to risk of profound hypotension. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
What does Olmesartan Medoxomil, Amlodipine interact with?
Olmesartan/Amlodipine may interact with several medicines that affect blood pressure or drug metabolism.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Potassium‑sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone): increase risk of hyperkalemia. - Aliskiren in diabetic patients: heightened renal adverse events. - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): raise amlodipine plasma levels. - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): may blunt antihypertensive effect. - Lithium: elevated lithium concentrations and toxicity.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Rifampin or other CYP3A4 inducers: may reduce amlodipine exposure. - Carbamazepine: decreases amlodipine concentrations. - ACE inhibitors or other renin‑angiotensin system blockers: additive hypotensive effect. - Loop or thiazide diuretics: enhanced blood‑pressure lowering. - Beta‑blockers: potential for excessive bradycardia or hypotension.
