Blood pressure response to medication varies from person to person and depends on factors like diet, lifestyle, adherence, other medical conditions, and the type or dose of medication. Three months is usually enough to see some effect, but persistent high readings, like 170/90, suggest your current regimen may not be fully effective. Do not adjust or stop your medicines on your own. It is essential to consult your doctor promptly; they may need to reassess your treatment, check for secondary causes of high blood pressure, or adjust doses or medications to achieve the target blood pressure safely.

Yes, you can take Olmat-40 AM Tablet (Olmesartan + Amlodipine) to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), but it should only be taken under a doctor’s guidance. Your doctor will evaluate your overall health, kidney function, and other medications to ensure it is safe and suitable for you. Regular blood pressure monitoring and follow-up visits are important while taking this medication.

A temporary rise in blood pressure, or transient hypertension, can occur due to stress, anxiety, physical exertion, or certain medications. While occasional spikes are often harmless, frequent or severe increases may indicate underlying cardiovascular risks. It is advisable to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions and adjust treatment if necessary.

To manage hypertension (high blood pressure) effectively, you should adopt lifestyle modifications such as a low-sodium diet (e.g., the DASH diet), regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and quitting smoking. You must take prescribed medications consistently as advised by your doctor, and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
