This includes heart attack (a condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart is interrupted by a blockage or blood clot), rhythm disorders (abnormal heartbeats), angina (chest pain), etc. This medicine weakens the contractions of your heart and reduces your blood pressure. Using it while you have heart problems will worsen your condition.

General warnings

Aortic Stenosis

Aortic stenosis is narrowing or blockage of the aortic valve that regulates blood flow in the chambers of your heart. Pinom C Tablet should be used with caution if you have aortic stenosis. This medicine slows down the blood flow which may increase the risk of very low blood pressure. It is recommended that you monitor your blood pressure regularly while you are on treatment with this medicine.

Use in Children

Pinom C Tablet is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age since the safety and efficacy of use are not clinically established.

Hyperkalemia

Hyperkalemia is an increase in potassium levels in your blood. Pinom C Tablet may increase the potassium levels in your blood. This may cause side effects such as irregular heartbeats. It is advised to avoid potassium-rich foods (potatoes, bananas) and other medicines that may increase potassium levels (ACE inhibitors and potassium supplements) during treatment with this medicine.

Coronary artery diseases

Coronary artery disease is a condition where the blood vessels of your heart are damaged, mainly due to the build-up of plaque. Pinom C Tablet should be used with extreme caution if you have coronary artery disease. It may weaken the contractions of your heart and slow down the heart rate, which may further depress cardiac output (amount of blood pumped by the heart in a minute) and blood pressure. Your doctor will suggest tests to closely monitor your heart function while you are on treatment with this medicine.

Driving or operating machines

Pinom C Tablet may cause symptoms such as drowsiness and/or dizziness. Avoid performing activities that require high mental alertness like driving vehicles or operating heavy machines during treatment with this medicine.

Drug withdrawal

Avoid abrupt discontinuation of Pinom C Tablet as it may worsen the condition such as angina (chest pain). Your doctor may gradually reduce the dose based on your condition to avoid undesirable effects.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take the dose of Pinom C Tablet at a given time, then take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double your dose to make up for the missed dose.

How it works

Pinom C Tablet contains olmesartan and clinidipine as its major componenets. Olmesartan works by blocking a receptor and preventing blood vessel constriction. Cilnidipine acts by blocking the inflow of calcium (responsible for the contraction of blood vessels) and causes relaxation, thereby promoting the smooth flow of blood. Their combination is thus effective in reducing blood pressure.
