At what time of the day should you take Golme?

Your doctor may suggest taking your first dose before bedtime, considering that this medicine can make you feel dizzy. After the very first dose, you can take Golme at any time of the day. It is important to take this medicine at the same time every day.

Golme does not have a diuretic. Golme is a medicine used to lower high blood pressure. It belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). These medicines lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. When prescribed by a doctor, Golme can also be combined with a diuretic to provide additional benefit in the reduction of blood pressure.

For how long do I need to take Golme? Is it safe to take long term?

You may have to take Golme life long. Golme controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Golme is generally considered safe to be taken for the long term. In some cases, long-term use may adversely affect the kidneys and the kidneys may not function as they should. Therefore, to keep track of how well your kidneys are working, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine, and potassium levels.

Can Golme cause weight gain?

No, Golme does not cause weight gain. However, in very rare cases, chronic diarrhea with substantial weight loss may occur.

Regular exercise can make your heart strong and reduce the risk of a heart attack.

Can I take Golme before surgery?

Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Golme 24 hours before surgery. This is because Golme can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics.
