 Golme H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet falls under the class of antihypertensive drugs and is employed to manage conditions related to high blood pressure.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic in that, facilitates the excretion of sodium and water from the body, effectively reducing blood volume. Meanwhile, Olmesartan Medoxomil works to relax blood vessels, aiding in the smooth flow of blood. The dual action of these components synergistically helps control blood pressure, contributing to the overall management of hypertension.

Patients can take this medication with or without food, but it is advisable to maintain a consistent time daily for better results.

Some common side effects associated with this medication include nausea, dizziness, increased uric acid levels in the blood, and upper respiratory tract infections.

It promotes the excretion of sodium and water, potentially leading to electrolyte imbalances, especially hypokalaemia (low potassium levels). The combination with Olmesartan may further increase the risk of potassium loss.

If a dose is missed, patients should take it as soon as they remember. However, if the next scheduled dose is imminent, it is recommended to skip the missed one and adhere to the regular dosing schedule. Taking double doses to compensate for a missed one should be avoided.
