I've been prescribed Olmesartan Medox/hctz 40-25mg Tab to manage my high blood pressure. The combination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide seems to be effective, but I'm concerned about the potential side effects, especially the rare but serious ones. I've read about kidney problems, fluid and electrolyte issues, and even skin cancer risk. Has anyone else had experiences with this medication? What should I watch out for, and how can I best manage any side effects?
