Hi,
Glimestar-2 (glimepiride) is a sulfonylurea commonly prescribed to control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Its important side effects on 'long run' include fall in blood sugar (which can be prevented by its dose adjustment), an allergic reaction and weight gain.
Olsertain-AM is a combination of angiotensin receptor blocker (olmesartan) and a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) commonly prescribed to control high blood pressure and to prevent its complications.
Its common side effects on 'long run' include low blood pressure (which can be prevented by dose adjustment), increased blood potassium, dry cough, swelling of the face/eyelids/lips/ankle/feet, constipation and flushing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
