Olmed 40 Tablet

Description

Olmed 40 Tablet is a prescription antihypertensive medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains Olmesartan Medoxomil 40mg, 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, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. By controlling hypertension, Olmed 40 helps prevent stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
