User Reviews for olmesartan oral

weak effects and significant weight gain

I have acid reflux it seems to have gotten worse and nauseous dizzy been on the meds a month ready to stop using it

Have a big problem with migraines and take Rizatriptan with naproxen, this works within an hour + Started Olmesartan Medoxomil and the first time I tried it, it caused the worst migraine I've had because Rizatriptan is a vasal stricting drug and Olmesartan is a vasal relaxing drug. Migraine lasted a whole night until I could take the Rizatrian again. this is not going to work for me.,

taken 40 mg of Olmesartan for one year and side effect have been building little at a time. bloating, dizziness getting up, sore joints, terrible sore eyes, dry eye, and my cholesterol skyrocketed during this period. went from 186 to almost 260 and i did not change anything in meds or diet. i worked hard to get cholesterol down and this was really out of the blue and prompted me to gather up all these effects and when it all started . one month after i started olmesartan.

Whelp so much for my GREAT experience review a few weeks ago. I think I jinxed myself. I am prescribed 20mg 1x a day. I have been on this med for a few months. Everything was great until---the side effects started to kick in. Yes it lowered my bp. But...I here is the thing, I too experience dizziness/unsteady feeling. Another poster mentioned scary vertigo/walking like drunk. YES I would agree with that assessment, every word. Headaches and over all blahhhhh. ----It appears that I can not take this med on a daily basis if I want a reasonable quality of life. As I continue to take my metoprolol 50mg daily, the new side effects I am experiencing when taking olmesartan 20mg 1x a day, is troubling. Read More Read Less

My review is for Olmesartan 20mg . This med has finally done the trick for me. 136/74 down from 190/80 and sometimes even higher. I take it in combination with Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg. 1x a day. Here is the thing, I was really REALLY worried about giving this med a chance. Frankly nothing was breaking thru my high numbers. Trial and all error for years now. As some of you know, that gets old. It gets really old. For me this med is well tolerated. I take it in the morning.. So far no side-effects. I have been taking this for a few months. -- Read More Read Less

Have taken olmesartan for a few years now. With use, my blood pressure is perfect. However, I do experience moments of near fainting (fainted one). I can't squat down to perform work. No matter how slowly I get go to "nearly fainting", mode. My wife see's it in my eyes, apparently I go blank. Since it works so well my doctor keeps me on the med. Does anyone who uses olmesartan, have this issue?

did not alter high b.p./age 70 female/gave me crazy low bp like 80/40, gave me double vision, dizziness, dry mouth and terrible acid reflux and scary vertigo. if i walked i looked drunk./could not drive or leave the house until switched to irbesartan. now no side effects but with 3 different blood pressure pills nothing lowers my bp. also type 1 diabetic over 60nyears and hashimotos thyroid.

First time on this medication. My Dr recommended and my blood pressure improved significantly!! I was averaging 150/90 and after a month averaging 110/65. Try it..it worked for me. My side affects were minimal.

I’ve been on this med for about three months. I am taking a very low dose, 5 mg once a day. My BP which was approaching 140 systolic is now closer to 120 and my diastolic is around 80. Regrettably, the side effects are overshadowing the results. My gastrointestinal tract is a mess, I suffer sharp pains in my head, I’ve developed tinnitus that won’t quit and my stamina is depressed. I’m 75, still work and still get on a treadmill once a day. One continuous 30 minute session has now been reduced to three sessions of ten minutes. On top of that, my sinuses are congested and my nose runs pretty constantly. I guess the therapeutic effect outweighs the nasty side effects. I was started on lisinopril but the side effects were even worse which is the reason my doctor switched. Has anyone else had similar symptoms on such a low dose? Also, I’m taking the generic. Will a change to the original brand help?Read More Read Less

This medication has not done much for my blood pressure, still at 155/52 average. Have shoulder and neck aches and pains and sore feet. Lightheaded and constantly short of breath. Had better control on lisinopril but bad for my kidneys. Will speak to my Md about a change when I see him in too weeks.

Minmal daily dose (5mg). Systolic down 30, diastolic down 10 on avg

No side effects. Dropped my blood pressure down to 120/72.

Been taking a little over month. I have difficulty breathing and cough a lot. Have been tested numerous times for Covid. Then read the side effects of this drug. I will be seeing my doctor ASAP

TERRIBLE weakness, lightheadedness, feeling very faint

Taking olmesarten medrocymil for 3 was, having sob weakness lightheaded heart pounding. Can barely move around. Dr says need to get used to it but Iâ??m going to stop and see if it helps. Anyone else have these symptoms?

Have been on Olmesartan for over 2 years. One year olmesartan alone,second year took chlorithadone with olmesartan. Spring 2019 started coughing and still coughing in august with difficulty swalowing and swollen throat. Taken off all BP meds and cough subsided. Doctor just put me back on Olmesartan and 2 weeks in developed severe muscle pain/burning and fatique. I stopped taking it on my own and muscle pain and fatique are going away after 3days. Guess this med is no longer for me. waiting a week to call Doc and try another plan.Very frustrating Read More Read Less

I've been on this med 4 years i have not had any problems

I was fine for 4 months. i have started experiencing swollen sore throat, blood pressure drops to 58/37 in a matter of seconds, black outs/pass out. Had tests done to check for everything. Once taken off this pill I have never experienced these side effects again.

everything good so far hit for three months.
