Sevitense 40/5 mg Olmesartan‑Amlodipine Antihypertensive - 28 Tablets

Sevitense 40/5 mg (28 Tablets) provides a potent dual-action formula by combining two powerful antihypertensive agents: Olmesartan medoxomil and Amlodipine. This medication works by targeting two different pathways in the body to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow:

Olmesartan (40 mg): Belongs to a class called Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs). It blocks a hormone that narrows blood vessels, allowing them to remain dilated.

Amlodipine (5 mg): A Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) that prevents calcium from entering the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels, causing the vessels to relax.

Sevitense

Enhanced Control: Often prescribed when monotherapy (a single drug) is not enough to control blood pressure.

Convenience: Combining two medications into one tablet (20mg/10mg) increases patient compliance and simplifies the daily routine.

Proven Efficacy: Regularly used in Saudi clinics to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

How to Use Sevitense 40/5 mg

Dosage: The standard dose is one tablet once daily, or as directed by your physician.

Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food.

Consistency: Try to take your dose at the same time every day (e.g., at breakfast) to maintain a steady level of medicine in your system.

Important: Do not take Sevitense with grapefruit juice, as it can interfere with how amlodipine is processed by your body.

While generally well-tolerated, some users may experience:

Dizziness or headache.

Swelling of the ankles or feet (edema).

Fatigue or tiredness.

Flushing (a warm feeling in the face).

Consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe dizziness, fainting, or signs of an allergic reaction.
