Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Olmesartan/Amlodipine is used in the cardiovascular therapeutic area to control elevated blood pressure.
  • Hypertension: lowers systolic and diastolic pressure in patients with primary hypertension.
  • Essential hypertension: provides additive blood‑pressure reduction when monotherapy does not achieve target levels.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension: employed as combination therapy to reach recommended blood‑pressure goals.

How It Works

  • Olmesartan medoxomil selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. Amlodipine inhibits L‑type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to arterial vasodilation. The combined effect reduces peripheral resistance and cardiac afterload, resulting in sustained blood‑pressure reduction.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Dizziness or light‑headedness
  • Headache
  • Peripheral edema, especially of the ankles
  • Flushing or warmth sensation
  • Fatigue or tiredness
  • Palpitations or mild tachycardia

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Angioedema involving face, lips or throat
  • Severe hypotension with syncope
  • Hepatic enzyme elevation or liver injury
  • Myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome
  • Life‑threatening arrhythmias
  • Severe allergic reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome

Precautions & Warnings

Olmesartan/Amlodipine should be used with clinical judgment and monitoring.

  • Pregnancy: Category D; avoid unless benefits outweigh risks.
  • Renal impairment: monitor kidney function and adjust therapy as needed.
  • Hepatic impairment: use cautiously; liver enzymes should be checked periodically.
  • Concomitant potassium‑sparing diuretics or supplements: risk of hyperkalemia; monitor serum potassium.
  • Severe aortic stenosis or cardiogenic shock: contraindicated due to risk of profound hypotension.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Olmesartan/Amlodipine may interact with several medicines that affect blood pressure or drug metabolism.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Potassium‑sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone): increase risk of hyperkalemia.
  • Aliskiren in diabetic patients: heightened renal adverse events.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): raise amlodipine plasma levels.
  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): may blunt antihypertensive effect.
  • Lithium: elevated lithium concentrations and toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Rifampin or other CYP3A4 inducers: may reduce amlodipine exposure.
  • Carbamazepine: decreases amlodipine concentrations.
  • ACE inhibitors or other renin‑angiotensin system blockers: additive hypotensive effect.
  • Loop or thiazide diuretics: enhanced blood‑pressure lowering.
  • Beta‑blockers: potential for excessive bradycardia or hypotension.

Frequently Asked Questions

Olmesartan/Amlodipine EG is a fixed‑dose combination of an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a calcium‑channel blocker. It is prescribed to lower elevated blood pressure in adults with primary (essential) hypertension, often when a single agent does not achieve target levels.

Olmesartan medoxomil blocks AT1 receptors, preventing angiotensin II‑mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. Amlodipine inhibits L‑type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, causing arterial dilation. Together they reduce peripheral resistance and cardiac afterload, producing a sustained antihypertensive effect.

The specific dose and dosing schedule are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s blood‑pressure profile, renal function, and concomitant therapies. The prescriber selects the appropriate strength and frequency according to clinical guidelines.

Olmesartan/Amlodipine EG is classified as Pregnancy Category D, indicating evidence of risk to the fetus. It should be avoided during pregnancy unless the potential benefit justifies the risk. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; the product should be used only if the potential benefit outweighs possible harm to the infant.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with monotherapy, the combination offers dual mechanisms—AT1‑receptor blockade and calcium‑channel inhibition—resulting in greater blood‑pressure reduction and improved adherence due to a single tablet. It is often preferred over separate pills when tighter control is needed, but individual agents may be chosen based on patient‑specific factors such as comorbidities.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original container, protect from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or if tablets appear discolored.

Olmesartan/Amlodipine EG is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions regarding timing and any dose adjustments.

Serious adverse events include angioedema, severe hypotension, hepatic injury, myocardial infarction, and life‑threatening arrhythmias. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience swelling of the face or throat, sudden dizziness, chest pain, or signs of liver dysfunction.

The combination is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to either component, severe aortic stenosis, cardiogenic shock, or those who are pregnant unless the benefit outweighs the risk. Caution is also advised for individuals with significant renal or hepatic impairment.
