Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• Check BENICAR, olmesartan medoxomil, 5/20/40 mg per tablet, NDC, the 30-tablet bottle and target market together. mg is only the labelled amount in an exact tablet, not a web rule for tablet counts, adding strengths or replacing another blood-pressure medicine.
• The label describes all three tablets as unscored. Color, shape and imprint are pack/tablet checking clues, not instructions to self-split, change use, combine products or replace one strength with another.
• The label includes a fetal-toxicity warning and material to review about hypotension, renal-function changes, high potassium and interactions with certain medicines. Pregnancy or planning pregnancy, kidney problems, dehydration symptoms, another blood-pressure medicine, pain medicine, lithium, potassium product or salt substitute require item-by-item review by a clinician or pharmacist who knows the full history and medicine list; this page does not decide continuation, pausing, make-up use or a treatment change.
• For fainting, breathing difficulty, altered consciousness, serious allergic features or another acute severe concern, use local urgent and medical pathways; do not wait for a web search or self-add, stop or counteract with another pack based on this page.
