Abecab Tablet 5 mg+20 mg is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Amlodipine Besilate and Olmesartan Medoxomil. This dual-action formulation is designed to effectively manage high blood pressure by combining two complementary mechanisms. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, helps relax and widen blood vessels, while Olmesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), prevents blood vessel constriction. Together, they provide better blood pressure control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Indications

Abecab Tablet is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Patients requiring combination therapy for improved blood pressure control
• Reduction of risks associated with uncontrolled hypertension, such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage

This medication is often prescribed when monotherapy is insufficient to achieve target blood pressure levels.

Mechanism of Action

• Amlodipine Besilate inhibits calcium ion entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, causing vasodilation and lowering peripheral resistance.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and reducing blood pressure.

The combination provides a synergistic effect, ensuring more effective and sustained blood pressure management.
