Abetis Tablet 40 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, a potent angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). By selectively blocking angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, it relaxes blood vessels and reduces peripheral resistance, resulting in lower blood pressure. Abetis helps prevent serious cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage, making it a reliable option for long-term blood pressure management under medical supervision.

Indications

Abetis Tablet 40 mg is indicated for:

• Management of hypertension in adults
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with high blood pressure
• Protection of kidney function in hypertensive patients

It can be used alone or as part of combination therapy for patients requiring more intensive blood pressure control.

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil works by selectively blocking AT1 receptors of angiotensin II, a hormone responsible for vasoconstriction and elevated blood pressure. This blockade causes blood vessels to dilate, reduces peripheral resistance, and decreases blood pressure. Unlike some other antihypertensives, it does not significantly alter heart rate.
