Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg

Therapeutic Class

Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)
Antihypertensive agent

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil is a prodrug that is rapidly converted to olmesartan during absorption. Olmesartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in blood vessels. This action prevents vasoconstriction and reduces aldosterone secretion, leading to relaxation of blood vessels, decreased peripheral resistance, and lowering of blood pressure. By improving blood flow, it helps protect vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys from hypertension-related damage.

Indications

Olmesan Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of essential hypertension

• Blood pressure control in patients at risk of cardiovascular events

• Renal protection in hypertensive patients, particularly those with diabetes

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