Olmesar CH 20 mg/6.25 mg Tablet

Description

Olmesar CH 20 mg/6.25 mg Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg) and a lower dose of Chlorthalidone (6.25mg). This formulation is designed for patients who require mild diuretic support alongside angiotensin II receptor blockade to control high blood pressure effectively.

• Olmesartan Medoxomil relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II receptors, lowering blood pressure.

• Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps reduce excess fluid and sodium, aiding in blood pressure reduction.

This combination helps achieve better blood pressure control and lowers the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Common Uses:

• Management of hypertension

• Patients needing combination therapy with a mild diuretic

• Reducing cardiovascular risk associated with high blood pressure
