Uses:
Olkem 20 AM Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when a single medicine does not adequately control blood pressure. Proper control helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

How it Works:

Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II.
