Olmesan Tablet 10 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the management of mild to moderate hypertension. It helps lower elevated blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow. Olmesan Tablet 10 mg is often prescribed as an initial dose in newly diagnosed patients or in individuals who require a lower dose due to age, sensitivity, or clinical condition. Effective blood pressure control with Olmesan reduces the risk of long-term cardiovascular and renal complications.

Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil 10 mg

Therapeutic Class

Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)
Antihypertensive agent

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil is a prodrug that is rapidly converted to its active form, olmesartan, after absorption. Olmesartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors on vascular smooth muscle. This action prevents vasoconstriction and reduces aldosterone secretion, leading to vasodilation, decreased peripheral resistance, and a gradual reduction in blood pressure. By maintaining stable blood pressure, Olmesan helps protect the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels from hypertension-related damage.

Indications

Olmesan Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of essential hypertension

• Initial therapy in patients with mild hypertension

• Blood pressure control in elderly or dose-sensitive patients

• Long-term management of hypertension to reduce cardiovascular risk

It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents as recommended by a physician.
