Tenicar Tablet 20 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing strain on the heart. Lowering blood pressure also helps decrease the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Tenicar is usually prescribed when lifestyle changes alone are not enough to control blood pressure. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medicines.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Olmesartan Medoxomil

• Strength: 20 mg per tablet

• Pharmacological Class: Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil is a prodrug that converts to its active form, olmesartan, in the body. It works by blocking the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor, preventing angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels. This action relaxes the blood vessels, reduces vascular resistance, and lowers blood pressure.

As a result, it improves blood circulation and decreases the workload on the heart.
