OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL is used to treat high blood pressure which is sometimes
called hypertension.
Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps push blood all around your body.
Your blood pressure changes at different times of the day, depending on how busy or
worried you are. You have hypertension (high blood pressure) when your blood pressure
stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have
hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. If high blood
pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems, including stroke,
heart disease and kidney failure.
How OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL works
OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL contains olmesartan medoxomil, which belongs to a group
of medicines known as angiotensin-II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance
produced in the body which causes blood vessels to tighten. OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE
- MYL blocks the action of angiotensin-II and therefore relaxes your blood vessels.
This helps lower your blood pressure.
OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL also contains amlodipine besilate, a calcium channel
blocker. This reduces the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood
vessels. This also helps to lower blood pressure as it relaxes the blood vessels
and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
Your doctor may have prescribed OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL for another reason.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL has
been prescribed for you.
OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE - MYL is not addictive.
This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.

Somac Heartburn Relief is used for lasting symptomatic relief of frequent heartburn
and stomach acid complaints due to gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
These symptoms can be caused by “washing back” (reflux) of food and acid from the
stomach into the food pipe, also known as the oesophagus.
Reflux can cause a burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat, also known
as heartburn.
Frequent heartburn is when you have heartburn for two or more days a week. Heartburn
that occurs frequently is a typical symptom of GORD.
Somac Heartburn Relief is not the right medicine for you if you suffer heartburn only
occasionally (one episode of heartburn a week or less), or if you want immediate relief
of heartburn.
Somac Heartburn Relief will start to suppress acid within a few hours, however it
is not intended to provide instant symptom relief. For effective, lasting relief,
you should take a full course of Somac Heartburn Relief (see 'How to take Somac Heartburn
Relief' below).
Somac Heartburn Relief belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors
(PPIs). This medicine works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach makes to
give relief from the symptoms.
Somac Heartburn Relief is not addictive.
Somac Heartburn Relief is for use by adults over 18 years of age.
Do not give Somac Heartburn Relief to children or adolescents under 18 years of age.
