Olmevas Tablet 20 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. Effective blood pressure control helps lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a natural substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. By inhibiting angiotensin II receptors (AT1 receptors), it prevents vasoconstriction and reduces aldosterone secretion. This leads to relaxation of blood vessels, reduced blood pressure, and improved cardiovascular function.
