FAQ's on Olvas 40mg Tablet 10s

Can I feel dizzy after taking Olvas?

Yes, the use of Olvas can make you feel dizzy. This may occur when you suddenly get up from a lying or sitting position. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.

Can Olvas cause weight gain?

No, Olvas 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 Olvas and no other cause of diarrhea can be deduced, then the doctor may advise the patient to discontinue it immediately and recommend another medicine.

At what time of the day should you take Olvas?

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

Can I take Olvas before surgery?

Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Olvas 24 hours before surgery. This is because Olvas can further reduce your blood pressure when used with anesthetics. So, tell your doctor that you are taking Olvas if you will be given general anesthetics (medicines that put you to sleep) or are scheduled to have any surgery.

Does Olvas have a diuretic?

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

What are some lifestyle changes to make while using Olvas?

Making lifestyle changes while taking Olvas can boost your health. Avoid smoking, as smoking increases your risk of having a heart attack and stroke. If you are overweight or obese, try to lose weight. You should maintain a healthy diet by including fruits and vegetables in your meals. Regular exercise can make your heart strong and reduce the risk of a heart attack.

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

You may have to take Olvas life long. Olvas controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Olvas is generally considered safe to be taken for 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 a track of how well your kidneys are working, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine and potassium levels.

How long does it take for Olvas to work?

You may notice a decrease in your blood pressure effectively within 2 weeks of starting Olvas. However, it may take about 8 weeks to see the full benefits of this medicine.
