About Olmin 10 Tablet 15's

Olmin 10 Tablet 15's belongs to a group of medications called anti-hypertensives primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently at higher-than-normal levels. If left untreated, this condition can increase the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Olmin 10 Tablet 15's contains Olmesartan medoxomil, which is a prodrug hydrolysed to olmesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. It is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB) that narrows the blood vessels, increasing the blood pressure; therefore, blocking angiotensin can result in the widening of the narrowed blood vessels. This effect allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels.

Take Olmin 10 Tablet 15's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Olmin 10 Tablet 15's based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Olmin 10 Tablet 15's are dizziness, headache, nausea, indigestion, diarrhoea, stomach pain, and sore throat. Most of these side effects of Olmin 10 Tablet 15's do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

Do not take Olmin 10 Tablet 15's if you are allergic to olmesartan medoxomil or any ingredients present in it. Olmin 10 Tablet 15's should not be used in pregnant women, patients suffering from jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) or gallbladder blockage, patients having diabetes or kidney failure, and those using blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren. Inform your doctor if you are taking potassium supplements or any other prescription or non-prescription drugs.

  • Treatment of Hypertension: Olmin 10 Tablet 15's helps in managing Hypertension by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, which relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Olmin 10 Tablet 15's helps lower high blood pressure (hypertension), which reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.
  • It works by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow and raises blood pressure.
  • By blocking angiotensin II, Olmin 10 Tablet 15's allows blood vessels to relax and widen, improving blood flow throughout the body.
  • Better blood flow helps reduce the pressure on the heart and arteries, making it easier for the heart to pump blood effectively.

How Olmin 10 Tablet 15's Works

Olmin 10 Tablet 15's contains Olmesartan medoxomil, a prodrug that is converted to olmesartan during absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. It belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). By blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow, olmesartan helps relax and widen the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and lowering blood pressure.

What if I have taken an overdose of Olmin 10 Tablet 15's

Drug Warnings

  • Do not take Olmin 10 Tablet 15's if you are allergic to olmesartan medoxomil or any of the ingredients in the medication.
  • Inform your doctor if you have any kidney problems, liver disease, heart conditions, or diabetes before starting this medicine.

  • Always inform your doctor about any prescription or non-prescription drugs, vitamins, or nutritional supplements you are using.
  • Seek medical attention if you develop severe, long-lasting diarrhoea or experience significant, unexplained weight loss during treatment.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Follow a DASH or Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins (like fish and legumes), and healthy fats (like olive oil and nuts).
  • Limit salt (sodium) intake to less than 2,300 mg per day, ideally under 1,500 mg — to help lower and maintain blood pressure.
  • Avoid processed and packaged foods, which are often high in hidden sodium and unhealthy fats.
  • Stay physically active, aiming for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise (such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming) most days of the week.
  • Maintain a healthy weight, as even a modest reduction in weight can significantly lower blood pressure.
  • Limit alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day for women and two for men, as excess alcohol can raise blood pressure.
  • Quit smoking, as tobacco use damages blood vessels and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  • Manage stress effectively through practices such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or regular relaxation time.
  • Avoid high-potassium salt substitutes unless approved by your doctor, as ARBs like Olmesartan can raise potassium levels.
  • Take your medication regularly as prescribed, and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your blood pressure and kidney function.
