SEVIKAR

Sevikar: A Combination Therapy for Uncontrolled Hypertension

Sevikar is a combination medication that brings together Olmesartan Medoxomil and Amlodipine Besylate. It is used to treat high blood pressure in adults that is not adequately controlled with a single medication. It helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular complications.

Available Strengths:

• Sevikar 20/5 mg: 20 mg Olmesartan + 5 mg Amlodipine

• Sevikar 20/10 mg: 20 mg Olmesartan + 10 mg Amlodipine

• Sevikar 40/10 mg: 40 mg Olmesartan + 10 mg Amlodipine

Mechanism of Action:

• Olmesartan: Acts as an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB), helping to relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure.

• Amlodipine: Belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers. It reduces the tension in smooth muscles within blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure and improved blood flow.

Benefits:

• Effective and sustained reduction in blood pressure over 24 hours.

• Suitable for patients who require dual therapy.

• Reduces the risk of kidney, heart, and blood vessel damage.

• A good option for cases of blood pressure resistant to monotherapy.

• It is preferable to take it at the same time each day.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Do not use during pregnancy.

• Blood pressure and kidney function should be monitored regularly.

• May cause dizziness, especially at the start of treatment or when increasing the dose.

• Do not use in cases of allergy to any of the ingredients or for patients with severe low blood pressure or cardiogenic shock.
