Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Olmed exactly as directed.

If you are only taking one dose a day and do not remember your missed dose until the next day, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. Before taking Olmed, tell your doctor if: you are allergic to any medicines; you are currently taking diuretics (water pills); you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
