Omen 20
Description
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is one of the most important systems in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases including hypertenison. Therefore, it is a very successful drug target for the therapy of these diseases. Olmesartan is effective and has excellent tolerability in Diabetic and Non-diabetic Indian Patients. Moreover Olmesartan lowers the rate of coronary atheroma progression.
Indications
  • For the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension.
Composition
Each tablet contains:
 

Olmesartan
20 mg

Dosage & Administration
One tablet once daily.
Omen may be administered with or without food.
It is important to take the medication at approximately the same time each day to maintain a consistent concentration of the medication in the body.
Adverse Effects & contraindication
Contraindication : Patients who are hypersensitive to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation.
Pregnancy : Olmesartan belongs to USFDA's pregnancy category D. Hence its use should be discontinued during pregnancy.
The use of Olmesartan medoxomil in patients with severe renal impairment is not recommended

Omen AM
Description
Combinational treatments are recommended in an individual whose blood pressure is markedly above the hypertension goal (e.g. more than 20mmHg systolic or 10mmHg diastolic). It is logical to use a combination which works by complementary mode of action. In Omen AM, Olmesartan inhibits Angiotensin II type 1 receptor which results into decrease in blood pressure and amlodipine inhibits entry of calcium in vascular smooth muscle; this causes vasodilation and reduces blood pressure. Moreover side effect like pedal edema associated with amlodipine can be minimized by co administration of olmesartan.
Indications
Hypertension
In the management of Stage II Hypertension
Composition
Each Tablet consists:
 

Olmesartan
10 mg

Amlodipine
5 mg

Dosage
One tablet once daily.
Side Effects
Commonly observed adverse reaction is pedal edema, oliguria and hypotension.
Precautions
Olmesartan belongs to USFDA's pregnancy category D. Hence its use should be discontinued during pregnancy.
The use of Olmesartan medoxomil in patients with severe renal impairment is not recommended.

Omen CT
Description
Omen CT is a combination of Olmesartan and Chlorthalidone. Chlorthalidone inhibit the reabsorption of sodium and chloride. Thus increase the excretion of water, sodium and chloride from the body leading to fall in cardiac output and blood pressure. Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker with excellent tolerability and safety. Olmesartan inhibits the RAAS system hence decreases blood pressure by different mechanism. Thus the combination exerts the additive effect in controlling the blood pressure.
Indications
Hypertension uncontrolled with monotherapy
Composition
Each Tablet consists:
 

Olmesartan Medoxomil
20 mg

Chlorthalidone
12.5 mg

Dosage and Administration
One tablet daily.
Take the medication at approximately the same time each day to maintain a consistent concentration
Adverse Effects
Hypokalemia, hyperglycemia.
Precautions
Patients with existing fluid and electrolyte disturbances
Severe hepatic impairment
Renal impairment

Omen CT is available as a strip of 10 tablets.
OMEN ACT
Description
Being a multi-factorial disease, management of hypertension often requires multiple drugs.Combining antihypertensive agents not only targets the underlying pathways for blood pressure, but also overcomes the side effect of individual drugs by complimentary mechanism of each other.Amlodipine is associated with the activation of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and the sympathetic nervous system. Olmesartan can effectively prevent the amlodipine associated activation of RAS.Amlodipine is known to cause peripheral edema, but when given in combination with Olmesartan, the incidence of peripheral edema is reduced. (Amlodipine is the arterio-dilator causes peripheral edema and olmesartan is veno-dilators because of which it causes post-capillary dilatation & reduces peripheral edema). Chlorthalidone can cause hypokalemia & olmesartan causes hyperkalemia thus these two drugs when given together maintain the potassium levels in blood.
Indications
Hypertension uncontrolled on dual therapy
Refractory Hypertension
Composition
Each tablet contains:
 

Olmesartan
20 mg

Amlodipine
5 mg

Chlorthalidone
12.5 mg

Dosage
1 tablet to be taken once daily preferably at the same time everyday.

Primodil AT
Description
In patients with mild to moderate hypertension unresponsive to monotherapy with Amlodipine, additional therapy with Atenolol further improves B.P. control. Amlodipine in Primodil-AT reduces B.P. by reducing peripheral resistance. Atenolol in Primodil-AT reduces B.P. by reducing heart rate and force of myocardial contraction; this reduces cardiac output, which in turn reduces blood pressure. The combination of Amlodipine and Atenolol is also very effective in angina because in Primodil-AT, Amlodipine increases oxygen supply to myocardium, while Atenolol decreases oxygen demand.
Indications
Hypertension with IHD
Composition
Each tablet contains:
 

Amlodipine
5 mg

Atenolol
50 mg

Dosage
In both hypertension and angina, PRIMODIL – AT tablet is given once daily.
Side Effects
Primodil AT is well tolerated. The common side effects are headache, ankle edema, etc.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to either of the drugs. Congestive cardiac failure. Pregnancy and lactation.
Presentation
Primodil AT is available as a strip of 10 tablets.
