Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil 40 mg

Therapeutic Class

Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)
Antihypertensive agent

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil is a prodrug that is converted in the gastrointestinal tract to its active form, olmesartan. Olmesartan selectively blocks angiotensin II from binding to AT1 receptors on blood vessels. This prevents vasoconstriction and aldosterone release, resulting in relaxation of blood vessels, reduced peripheral resistance, and effective lowering of blood pressure. Sustained blood pressure control helps reduce strain on the heart and protects organs such as the kidneys and brain.

Indications

Olmesan Tablet 40 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of essential hypertension

• Patients with moderate to severe high blood pressure

• Hypertensive patients requiring higher-dose therapy for adequate control

• Cardiovascular and renal risk reduction in hypertensive individuals

It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications based on clinical need.
