Olmesar 40 Tablet

Description

Olmesar 40 Tablet contains Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Olmesartan works by blocking angiotensin II receptors, preventing blood vessel constriction and promoting relaxation of blood vessels, which results in better blood flow and reduced strain on the heart.
