FAQ's on Olkem 20 AM Tablet 15s

What are the other lifestyle changes I should make while using Olkem AM?

Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy if you are taking Olkem AM. Avoid taking excess salt in your diet and find ways to reduce or manage stress in your life. Practice yoga or meditation or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep every night as this also helps to reduce stress levels and helps to keep your blood pressure normal. Stop smoking and alcohol consumption as this helps in lowering your blood pressure and preventing heart problems. Exercise regularly and take a balanced diet that includes whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and fat-free products. Consult your doctor if you need any further guidance to get the maximum benefit of Olkem AM and to keep yourself healthy.

What are the serious side effects of Olkem AM?

The serious side effects of Olkem AM include skin rash or itchiness, painful joints, fast heart beat, shortness of breath or tightness in the chest. Serious side effects may also include aching, tender or weak muscles (not caused by exercise), and swelling of the hands, feet or ankles. Olkem AM may also cause symptoms that may indicate high potassium levels in the blood, such as nausea, diarrhea, muscle weakness and change in heart rhythm. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately.

Can Olkem AM affect my fertility or sex life?

Some blood pressure medicines (including water pills like hydrochlorothiazide) may affect a man’s ability to gain or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction). However, it is thought that other blood pressure medicines can actually improve erectile dysfunction. If you are worried or notice some changes, talk to your doctor. There is no firm evidence which suggests any effect on the fertility of either men or women with the use of Olkem AM.

Can Olkem AM cause weight gain?

No, Olkem AM does not cause weight gain. However, in very rare cases, chronic diarrhea with substantial weight loss may occur. If a patient develops diarrhea while taking Olkem AM and no other cause of diarrhea can be deduced, the doctor may suggest discontinuation of the medicine and recommend another medicine.

At what time of the day should you take Olkem AM?

Your doctor may suggest to take your first dose before bedtime, considering that this medicine can make you feel dizzy. After the very first dose you can take Olkem AM at any time of the day. It is important to take this medicine at the same time every day.

Can I feel dizzy after taking Olkem AM?

Yes, the use of Olkem AM can make you feel dizzy. This may occur when you suddenly get up from a lying or sitting position. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.

For how long do I need to take Olkem AM? Is it safe to take long term?

You may have to take Olkem AM life long. Olkem AM controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Olkem AM is generally considered safe to be taken for a long term. In some cases, long-term use may adversely affect the kidneys and the kidneys may not function as they should. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine and potassium levels to keep a track of how well your kidneys are working.

How long does it take for Olkem AM to work?

You may notice a decrease in your blood pressure effectively within 2 weeks of starting Olkem AM. However, it may take about 8 weeks to see the full benefits of this medicine. Talk to your doctor in case you have any concerns regarding Olkem AM, but do not stop taking it without consulting the doctor.
