Olmesartan medoxil may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Dizziness - Headache - Fatigue - Nasal congestion - Diarrhea - Upper respiratory tract infection

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Angio‑edema - Hyperkalemia - Acute kidney injury - Severe hypotension - Liver enzyme elevation - Allergic skin reactions

What precautions apply to Olmesartan Medoxomil?

When prescribing Olmesartan medoxil, clinicians should consider several safety aspects.

- Renal function: assess baseline kidney function and monitor periodically. - Electrolytes: check serum potassium, especially if combined with potassium‑sparing diuretics. - Pregnancy: contraindicated in the second and third trimesters due to fetal toxicity. - Elderly patients: start at lower doses and monitor for orthostatic hypotension. - Drug interactions: review concomitant medications that affect the renin‑angiotensin system. - Store at below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Olmesartan Medoxomil interact with?
