ODIPIN

Do not use Odipin in people with the following conditions:

• Hypersensitivity: Odipin should not be used in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Odipin or any other ingredient in the medication. Allergic reactions can range from mild skin rashes to severe reactions that require immediate medical attention.
• Severe hypotension: Odipin can lower blood pressure, so it should be used with caution or avoided in individuals with severe hypotension (very low blood pressure).
• Cardiogenic shock: Odipin should not be used in individuals with cardiogenic shock, a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
• Obstructive aortic stenosis: Odipin may worsen obstruction in individuals with obstructive aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve is narrowed and restricts blood flow from the heart.
• Unstable angina: Odipin is not recommended for the treatment of unstable angina, a type of angina that occurs at rest or with minimal exertion and may indicate a more serious heart condition.

Odipin may have the following side effects:

• Swelling: Odipin can cause swelling in the ankles, feet, or hands. This is known as peripheral edema and occurs due to the medication’s effect on blood vessels. If the swelling becomes severe or bothersome, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider.
• Flushing: Some individuals may experience flushing, which is a warm and red feeling in the skin. This is generally harmless but can be uncomfortable.
• Dizziness or lightheadedness: Odipin can cause a drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness. It is important to get up slowly from a sitting or lying position to minimize these symptoms.
• Headache: Headaches can occur as a side effect of Odipin. If the headaches persist or become severe, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare provider.
• Fatigue: Some individuals may experience tiredness or fatigue while taking Odipin. If this becomes bothersome or affects your daily activities, it’s recommended to discuss it with your healthcare provider.
• Gastrointestinal issues: Odipin may cause digestive issues such as nausea, stomach pain, or diarrhea. If these symptoms are severe or persistent, it’s important to seek medical advice.

Take extra caution in patients with the following medical conditions:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, it’s important to discuss with your healthcare provider before taking Odipin. They can assess the potential risks and benefits and determine if the medication is suitable for you or if an alternative treatment should be considered.

Interactions

Odipin may interact with the following medicines:

• Medications that lower blood pressure: Taking Odipin with other medications that lower blood pressure, such as beta blockers or ACE inhibitors, can further reduce blood pressure. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosages of these medications to ensure safe and effective blood pressure control.
• Medications that increase blood levels of Odipin: Certain medications can increase the blood levels of Odipin, potentially leading to an increased risk of side effects. Examples include medications that inhibit the liver enzyme CYP3A4, such as ketoconazole, clarithromycin, and grapefruit juice. It’s important to discuss these potential interactions with your healthcare provider.
• Medications that lower heart rate: Combining Odipin with medications that lower heart rate, such as beta blockers or digoxin, can further slow down the heart rate. Close monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure may be necessary in such cases.
• Medications that increase potassium levels: Certain medications, such as potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements, can increase potassium levels in the body. When combined with Odipin, which can sometimes cause a slight increase in potassium levels, it’s important to monitor potassium levels closely to avoid potential complications.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs, like ibuprofen or naproxen, can reduce the effectiveness of Odipin by constricting blood vessels. It’s advisable to use these medications cautiously and consult with your healthcare provider if you need to take them.

Inform your physician about the drugs you take including over-the-counter medications, prescribed drugs, supplements and vitamins.
