Optidoz Tablet is used for the following:

Management of hypertension: This refers to high blood pressure, a condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
Control of blood pressure when a single medication is ineffective: Sometimes, one medicine alone doesn't suffice to bring down your high blood pressure. In such cases, Optidoz Tablet can help.

Here's how you should take Optidoz Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.
You can take Optidoz Tablet with or without food.
Remember not to exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor. The dosage should be strictly as prescribed by your doctor.
If you're considering stopping this medicine, it's crucial that you first consult your doctor.

Optidoz Tablet is taken orally.

Optidoz Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Dizziness
Headache
Fatigue or weakness
Nausea
Ankle or leg swelling (oedema)

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless. They usually resolve once you stop taking Optidoz Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness: Try taking Optidoz Tablet at night to minimise daytime discomfort.
Ankle or leg swelling (oedema): Raise the swollen part of your body above the level of your heart to help reduce fluid buildup. For example, if your feet are swollen, prop them up on pillows while lying down.

Optidoz Tablet contains three active ingredients that work together to reduce blood pressure:

Amlodipine (2.5 mg): This is a calcium channel blocker that eases the blood vessels, making it simpler for your heart to pump blood. It achieves this by preventing calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels.
Hydrochlorothiazide (6.25 mg): As a thiazide diuretic, this ingredient aids the kidneys in removing excess water and salt from your body. This reduces the volume of blood in the vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure. It also appears to ease blood vessels, reducing blood pressure further.
Telmisartan (20 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that stops the hormone angiotensin II from binding to receptors in the blood vessels. This causes the blood vessels to relax, lowering blood pressure and making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

Pregnancy

Optidoz Tablet should be discontinued as soon as pregnancy is detected, and this medicine is contraindicated in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Optidoz Tablet is not recommended for nursing mothers. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while taking Optidoz Tablet might lead to increased orthostatic hypotension (a condition wherein a person's blood pressure drops when they are standing up or sitting down). This, it is advised to limit your alcohol intake while taking this medication.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Optidoz Tablet in case of liver impairment. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Optidoz Tablet should be used with caution if you have a history of kidney problems. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Children

Use of Optidoz Tablet in children under 18 years of age is not recommended. Always consult your doctor for suitable alternatives.
