• Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax and widen blood vessels, leading to a reduction in blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a thiazide diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water, which also aids in lowering blood volume and blood pressure.

• Common side effects may include:

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Fatigue
  • Increased urination (due to HCTZ)
  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain

• Serious side effects (rare) may include:

  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
