Olmevas Tablet 40 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It is a higher-strength formulation designed for patients who require stronger blood pressure control when lower doses are not sufficient. By relaxing blood vessels, it helps improve blood flow and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Olmesartan Medoxomil 40 mg

Mechanism of Action

By blocking its action, Olmevas 40 mg promotes vasodilation, reduces aldosterone secretion, and decreases vascular resistance, resulting in effective and sustained blood pressure reduction.
