(OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL + CILNIDIPINE)
For how long do I need to take Cilnikem-OM? Is it safe to take long term?
You may have to take Cilnikem-OM life long. Cilnikem-OM controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Cilnikem-OM 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.
Can Cilnikem-OM 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 Cilnikem-OM.
What are the serious side effects of Cilnikem-OM?
The serious side effects of Cilnikem-OM include skin rash or itchiness, painful joints, fast heartbeat, 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. Cilnikem-OM 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.
What are the other lifestyle changes I should make while using Cilnikem-OM?
Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy if you are taking Cilnikem-OM. 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 Cilnikem-OM and to keep yourself healthy.
