Olmevas HZ Tablet 20 mg+12.5 mg is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. This combination is used for the effective management of high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medicine is not sufficient. It helps relax blood vessels and remove excess fluid from the body, resulting in better and sustained blood pressure control.

Composition

• Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil works by blocking angiotensin II receptors, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and reduced vascular resistance.

Hydrochlorothiazide increases the excretion of sodium and water through urine, reducing blood volume and lowering blood pressure.

Together, they provide complementary effects by reducing both vascular resistance and fluid overload, ensuring effective 24-hour blood pressure control.
