How long does it take for Olmy-D to work?
You may notice a decrease in your blood pressure effectively within 2 weeks of starting Olmy-D. 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 Olmy-D, but do not stop taking it without consulting the doctor.
Can I take Olmy-D before surgery?
Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Olmy-D 24 hours before surgery. This is because Olmy-D can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics. So, inform your doctor that you are taking Olmy-D if you will be given general anesthetics (medicines that put you to sleep) or are scheduled to have any surgery.
Can Olmy-D 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 Olmy-D.
Can Olmy-D cause weight gain?
No, Olmy-D 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 Olmy-D and no other cause of diarrhea can be deduced, the doctor may suggest discontinuation of the medicine and recommend another medicine.
For how long do I need to take Olmy-D? Is it safe to take long term?
You may have to take Olmy-D life long. Olmy-D controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Olmy-D 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.
