Olmed 20 Tablet

Description

Olmed 20 Tablet is a prescription antihypertensive medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains Olmesartan Medoxomil 20mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension).

Olmesartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. This action relaxes and widens blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. By controlling blood pressure, Olmed 20 helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
