Dosing: Adult
Acute coronary syndrome

Acute coronary syndrome:

Note: May be used as an alternative in patients who cannot tolerate an ACE inhibitor (eg, due to cough) (Ref). In patients with prior angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-associated angioedema (ie, without urticaria or other signs of hypersensitivity), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) may also be an alternative. ARBs do not appear to elevate the risk of angioedema (Ref); however, patients must be educated that angioedema due to an ACE inhibitor can sometimes reoccur within months following discontinuation (Ref); referral to an allergist may be appropriate.

Non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (alternative agent) (off-label use):

Note: Patients should be hemodynamically stable before initiation. Use as a component of an appropriate medical regimen, which may also include antiplatelet agent(s), a beta-blocker, and a statin. Continue ARB therapy indefinitely for patients with concurrent diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, hypertension, or stable chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Ref). Dosing is based on general dosing range in the manufacturer's labeling.

Oral: Initial: 20 mg once daily; increase dose as tolerated up to 40 mg/day under close monitoring to avoid hypotension.

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (alternative agent) (off-label use):

Note: Patients should be hemodynamically stable before initiation. Use as a component of an appropriate medical regimen, which may also include antiplatelet agent(s), a beta-blocker, and a statin. Continue ARB therapy indefinitely (Ref). Dosing is based on general dosing range in the manufacturer's labeling.

Oral: Initial: 20 mg once daily; increase dose as tolerated up to 40 mg/day under close monitoring to avoid hypotension.

Hypertension, chronic

Hypertension, chronic:

Note: For patients who warrant combination therapy (BP >20/10 mm Hg above goal or suboptimal response to initial monotherapy), may use with another appropriate agent (eg, long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker or thiazide diuretic) (Ref).

Oral: 20 mg once daily; evaluate response after ~2 to 4 weeks and titrate dose (eg, increase the daily dose by doubling) as needed up to 40 mg once daily; if additional blood pressure control is needed, consider combination therapy. Patients with severe asymptomatic hypertension and no signs of acute end organ damage should be evaluated for medication titration within 1 week (Ref).

Proteinuric chronic kidney disease, diabetic or nondiabetic

Proteinuric chronic kidney disease, diabetic or nondiabetic (off-label use):

Oral: Initial: 20 mg once daily; titrate gradually (eg, by doubling the dose every 2 to 4 weeks) to the maximally tolerated dose, not to exceed 40 mg/day. If proteinuria target is not met despite optimized dosage, consider additional therapies (eg, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor) (Ref).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

CrCl ≥40 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary.

CrCl <40 mL/minute: No initial dosage adjustment necessary. AUC is increased 3-fold in patients with CrCl <20 mL/minute and a maximum dose of 20 mg/day has been recommended for these patients (Ref).

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

Mild impairment: No dosage adjustment necessary.

Moderate to severe: No initial dosage adjustment necessary. Total drug exposure increased ~60% in moderate impairment. Should be used with caution in patients with ascites due to cirrhosis (Ref).

Dosing: Older Adult

Refer to adult dosing.

Dosing: Pediatric

(For additional information see "Olmesartan: Pediatric drug information")

Note: Consider lower starting dose in patients with possible depletion of intravascular volume (eg, patients receiving diuretics).

Hypertension

Hypertension: Oral:

Children 1 to 5 years and ≥5 kg: Limited data available; efficacy results variable: Initial: 0.3 mg/kg/dose once daily; if initial response inadequate after 2 weeks, dose may be increased to 0.6 mg/kg/dose once daily. Dosing was evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 59 patients and some efficacy was demonstrated; however, results were not statistically significant.

Children and Adolescents 6 to 16 years:

20 to <35 kg: 10 mg once daily; if initial response inadequate after 2 weeks, dose may be increased; maximum daily dose: 20 mg/day

≥35 kg: 20 mg once daily; if initial response inadequate after 2 weeks, dose may be increased; maximum daily dose: 40 mg/day

Adolescents >16 years: Initial: 20 mg once daily; if initial response is inadequate, may be increased to 40 mg once daily after 2 weeks

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Pediatric

There are no pediatric-specific recommendations; based on experience in adult patients, no initial dosage adjustment necessary; however, AUC is increased 3-fold in adult patients with CrCl <20 mL/minute; dosing adjustment may be necessary, use with caution.

Hemodialysis: There are no dosing recommendations provided in the manufacturer's labeling; has not been studied.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Pediatric

There are no pediatric-specific recommendations; based on experience in adult patients, no initial dosage adjustment may be necessary; however, in adult patients with moderate hepatic impairment, an increase in AUC of ~60% was observed; use with caution.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Angioedema: Angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs) do not appear to elevate the risk of angioedema (Rasmussen 2019; Toh 2012). Patients with a history of angioedema due to an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor must be educated that sometimes there can be recurrence within months following discontinuation (Beltrami 2011). No matter the cause of angioedema, prolonged frequent monitoring is required, especially if tongue, glottis, or larynx are involved, as they are associated with airway obstruction. Discontinue therapy immediately if angioedema occurs. Aggressive early management is critical. IM administration of epinephrine may be necessary. Do not readminister the ARB to patients who experience angioedema from this medication.

• Gastrointestinal effects: Symptoms of sprue-like enteropathy (ie, severe, chronic diarrhea with significant weight loss) has been reported; may develop months to years after treatment initiation with villous atrophy commonly found on intestinal biopsy. Once other etiologies have been excluded, discontinue treatment and consider other antihypertensive treatment. Clinical and histologic improvement was noted after treatment was discontinued in a case series of 22 patients (Ianiro 2014; Rubio-Tapia 2012).

• Hyperkalemia: May occur; risk factors include renal dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements and/or potassium containing salts. Use cautiously, if at all, with these agents and monitor potassium closely.

• Hypotension: Symptomatic hypotension may occur upon initiation in patients who are salt- or volume-depleted (eg, those treated with high-dose diuretics); correct volume depletion prior to administration; dose reduction may be considered. This transient hypotensive response is not a contraindication to further treatment with olmesartan.

• Renal function deterioration: May be associated with deterioration of renal function and/or increases in serum creatinine, particularly in patients with low renal blood flow (eg, renal artery stenosis, heart failure) whose GFR is dependent on efferent arteriolar vasoconstriction by angiotensin II; deterioration may result in oliguria, acute renal failure, and progressive azotemia. Small increases in serum creatinine may occur following initiation; consider discontinuation only in patients with progressive and/or significant deterioration in renal function.

Disease-related concerns:

• Aortic/Mitral stenosis: Use caution in patients with significant aortic/mitral stenosis.

• Ascites: Generally, avoid use in patients with ascites due to cirrhosis or refractory ascites; if use cannot be avoided in patients with ascites due to cirrhosis, monitor BP and renal function carefully to avoid rapid development of renal failure (AASLD [Runyon 2013]).

• Renal artery stenosis: Use olmesartan with caution in patients with unstented unilateral/bilateral renal artery stenosis. When unstented bilateral renal artery stenosis is present, use is generally avoided due to the elevated risk of deterioration in renal function unless possible benefits outweigh risks.

• Renal impairment: Use with caution with preexisting renal insufficiency.

Special populations:

• Pediatric: Olmesartan has not been shown to be effective for hypertension in children <6 years of age. Children <1 year of age must not receive olmesartan for hypertension. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a critical role in kidney development. Administering drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system can have effects on the development of immature kidneys and alter normal renal development.

• Pregnancy: [US Boxed Warning]: Drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. Discontinue as soon as possible once pregnancy is detected.

• Race/Ethnicity: In Black patients, the BP-lowering effects of ARBs may be less pronounced. The exact mechanism is not known; differences in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, low renin levels, and salt sensitivity more commonly found in Black patients may contribute (Brewster 2013; Helmer 2018; manufacturer's labeling).

• Surgical patients: In patients on chronic ARB therapy, intraoperative hypotension may occur with induction and maintenance of general anesthesia; however, discontinuation of therapy prior to surgery is controversial. If continued preoperatively, avoidance of hypotensive agents during surgery is prudent (Hillis 2011). Based on current research and clinical guidelines in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, continuing ARBs is reasonable in the perioperative period. If ARBs are held before surgery, it is reasonable to restart postoperatively as soon as clinically feasible (ACC/AHA [Fleisher 2014]).

Reproductive Considerations

Medications considered acceptable for the treatment of chronic hypertension during pregnancy may generally be used in patients trying to conceive. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are fetotoxic. Transition patients prior to conception to an agent preferred for use during pregnancy unless treatment with an ARB is absolutely necessary (ACC/AHA [Whelton 2018]; ACOG 2019; NICE 2019).

Pregnancy Considerations

Drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. Exposure to an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) during the first trimester of pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of fetal malformations (ACOG 2019; ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]). Following exposure during the second or third trimesters, drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system are associated with oligohydramnios. Oligohydramnios, due to decreased fetal kidney function, may lead to fetal lung hypoplasia and skeletal malformations. Oligohydramnios may not appear until after an irreversible fetal injury has occurred. ARB use during pregnancy is also associated with anuria, hypotension, kidney failure, skull hypoplasia, and death in the fetus/neonate. Monitor infants exposed to an ARB in utero for hyperkalemia, hypotension, and oliguria. Exchange transfusions or dialysis may be required to reverse hypotension or improve renal function.

Chronic maternal hypertension is also associated with adverse events in the fetus/infant. Chronic maternal hypertension may increase the risk of birth defects, low birth weight, premature delivery, stillbirth, and neonatal death. Actual fetal/neonatal risks may be related to the duration and severity of maternal hypertension. Untreated chronic hypertension may also increase the risks of adverse maternal outcomes, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, delivery complications, stroke, and myocardial infarction (ACOG 2019).

Discontinue ARBs as soon as possible once pregnancy is detected. Agents other than an ARB are recommended for the treatment of chronic hypertension during pregnancy (ACOG 2019; ESC [Cífková 2020]; ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]; SOGC [Magee 2022]). Closely monitor patients exposed to an ARB during pregnancy with serial ultrasounds.

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if olmesartan is present in breast milk.

Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfeeding infant, the manufacturer recommends a decision be made whether to discontinue breastfeeding or to discontinue the drug, considering the importance of treatment to the mother. When treatment for hypertension is needed in a breastfeeding patient, consider use of an agent other than an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ESC [Cífková 2020]; NICE 2019).

Monitoring Parameters

Blood pressure; serum electrolytes (eg, potassium [especially in patients on concomitant potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, and/or potassium-containing salts]); kidney function.

Mechanism of Action

As a selective and competitive, nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist, olmesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II; olmesartan interacts reversibly at the AT1 and AT2 receptors of many tissues and has slow dissociation kinetics; its affinity for the AT1 receptor is 12,500 times greater than the AT2 receptor. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists may induce a more complete inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system than ACE inhibitors, they do not affect the response to bradykinin, and are less likely to be associated with non-renin-angiotensin effects (eg, cough and angioedema). Olmesartan increases urinary flow rate and, in addition to being natriuretic and kaliuretic, increases excretion of chloride, magnesium, uric acid, calcium, and phosphate.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)
