Olmesar H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet

Description

Olmesar H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg). It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), particularly in patients who require both angiotensin II receptor blockade and diuretic therapy for optimal blood pressure control.

• Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, reducing blood pressure.

• Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps remove excess sodium and water from the body, aiding in blood pressure reduction.

This combination provides enhanced blood pressure control and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Common Uses:

• Management of hypertension
