At what time of the day should you take Olstan?

Can I feel dizzy after taking Olstan?

Yes, the use of Olstan 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.

Does Olstan have a diuretic?

Olstan does not have a diuretic. Olstan is a medicine used to lower high blood pressure. It belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). These medicines lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. When prescribed by a doctor, Olstan can also be combined with a diuretic for providing additional benefit in the reduction of blood pressure.

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

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

Can Olstan cause weight gain?

No, Olstan 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 Olstan and no other cause of diarrhea can be deduced, then the doctor may advise the patient to discontinue it immediately and recommend another medicine.

Can I take Olstan before surgery?

Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Olstan 24 hours before surgery. This is because Olstan can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics. So, tell your doctor that you are taking Olstan if you will be given general anesthetics (medicines that put you to sleep) or are scheduled to have any surgery.
