Do I need a prescription for olmesartan 40mg?

Yes. Olmesartan is a prescription-only medication in the U.S. A licensed provider must review your prescription before this pharmacy can dispense it, and a pharmacist checks each order for safety and interactions.

Is this the same as amlodipine olmesartan?

No. Amlodipine-olmesartan (brand name Azor) is a combination tablet containing two blood pressure medicines: amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and olmesartan. This product contains olmesartan 40mg only. Your provider will decide whether a single medicine or a combination is right for you.

What is olmesartan amlodipine HCTZ?

Olmesartan amlodipine HCTZ (brand name Tribenzor) is a triple-combination tablet that adds hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, to olmesartan and amlodipine. It is prescribed when blood pressure is not controlled on fewer medicines. Ask your provider if you're unsure which product you were prescribed.

Can I use an olmesartan amlodipine HCTZ coupon on this product?

Coupons and discount cards are usually specific to one product, so a coupon for the combination tablet generally will not apply to olmesartan alone. Contact our pharmacy team about current pricing and any available savings for olmesartan 40mg.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider reviews your prescription and a pharmacist verifies it. Once approved, your medication ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy in discreet packaging, typically within a few business days.

What should I avoid while taking olmesartan?

Do not take olmesartan if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, as it can harm a developing fetus. Avoid potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing potassium, and regular NSAID use unless your provider approves. Tell your provider about all medications you take.

What if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose — in that case, skip it. Do not take two doses at once. Keep taking olmesartan daily even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

What Is Olmesartan 40mg?

Olmesartan is a prescription blood pressure medication in the ARB (angiotensin II receptor blocker) class, sold under the brand name Benicar. It works by blocking angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels, allowing vessels to relax so blood pressure comes down. Olmesartan is available alone, as in this 40mg tablet, and in combination products such as amlodipine-olmesartan (Azor) and olmesartan amlodipine HCTZ (Tribenzor). Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems over time.

What Does Olmesartan 40mg Treat?

High blood pressure (hypertension) in adults
Hypertension in children 6 years and older
Use alone or with other blood pressure medicines
Long-term blood pressure control to reduce cardiovascular risk

Olmesartan 40mg Dosage

Adults: 20 mg by mouth once daily initially; may increase to 40 mg once daily after 2 weeks if needed.
Maximum: 40 mg once daily.
Take at the same time each day, with or without food.

Your prescriber will determine the dose and duration that are right for you. Always follow the directions on your prescription label.
