[Main Ingredients]
The main ingredient of this product is Olmesartan Medoxomil. Chemical Name: 2,3-Dihydroxy-2-butenyl-4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-[p-(o-1H-tetrazol-5-phenyl)benzyl]imidazole-5-carboxylate, cyclo[2,3-carbonic acid]. Molecular Formula: C₂9H₃O₆N₂O₆. Molecular Weight: 558.59
[Properties]
This product is a white, oval (40mg) or round (20mg) film-coated tablet. It appears white or off-white after removal of the coating.
[Indications/Main Functions]
This product is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. Hypertension control is part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, which may include lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, physical exercise, and sodium restriction. Increases in either systolic or diastolic blood pressure increase cardiovascular risk. The absolute risk increase per mmHg increase is greater at higher baseline blood pressure levels. The relative magnitude of risk reduction achieved by lowering blood pressure is similar among individuals with varying absolute cardiovascular risk. In patients with severe hypertension, even a small reduction in blood pressure can provide a significant clinical benefit. In adults with hypertension, lowering blood pressure generally reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, primarily stroke and myocardial infarction. However, there is no controlled clinical evidence that this product reduces cardiovascular risk.
[Specification]
20mg*20 tablets
[Dosage and Administration]
The dosage should be individualized. In normovolemic patients, as monotherapy, the recommended starting dose is 20mg once daily. For patients who require further blood pressure lowering after two weeks of treatment, the dose can be increased to 40mg. Doses greater than 40mg have not demonstrated a greater antihypertensive effect. When the daily dose is the same, twice-daily dosing has not been shown to be superior to once-daily dosing. Olmesartan medoxomil can be taken with or without food. It can be used in combination with other diuretics and other antihypertensive medications. No dose adjustment is required for elderly patients and patients with moderate to significant hepatic or renal impairment (creatinine clearance <40 mL/minute) (see Special Populations under [Pharmacokinetics]). Olmesartan medoxomil should be used under close medical supervision in patients with potential volume depletion (e.g., those receiving diuretic therapy, particularly those with renal impairment), and a lower starting dose may be considered.
