OMEN ACT TABLET Substitute

OMEN ACT TABLET contains Amlodipine, Chlorthalidone and Olmesartan medoxomil. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic (water tablet) that increases the removal of excess water and certain salts such as sodium and potassium from the blood. This removal of water from blood reduces the fluid volume circulating through blood vessels and improves blood flow. Amlodipine and Olmesartan medoxomil relaxes and widens blood vessels. Thus, OMEN ACT TABLET lowers high blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack or other heart problems.

OMEN ACT TABLET may increase potassium levels in the blood. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid intake of potassium supplements and foods that are rich in potassium such as bananas, sweet potatoes, nuts and noni juice with OMEN ACT TABLET as it may result in hyperkalaemia (high levels of potassium in the blood) and cause severe adverse effects such as irregular heartbeat, muscle paralysis and kidney failure. Also, avoid taking OMEN ACT TABLET with grapefruit juice as it increases the levels of OMEN ACT TABLET in blood.

OMEN ACT TABLET may cause dizziness in some patients. Therefore, if you feel dizzy after taking OMEN ACT TABLET, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery.

You are not recommended to take simvastatin with OMEN ACT TABLET as it may increase the levels of simvastatin in the blood and increase the risk of liver damage and rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue). However, please consult a doctor before taking other medicines with OMEN ACT TABLET.

You are not recommended to stop taking OMEN ACT TABLET without consulting your doctor even if you find symptomatic relief as it may worsen the condition.
