“Section 4 Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. If they do occur, they are often mild and do not require treatment to be stopped.
Although not many people may get them, the following side effects can be serious:
If you experience yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dark urine, itching of the skin, even if you started therapy with Olmesartan Medoxomil a longer time ago, contact your doctor immediately who will evaluate your symptoms and decide on how to continue your blood pressure medication.”
Affected batches are not being recalled.
