About Olmesar Plus 20 Tablet

Olmesar Plus 20 Tablet belongs to the class of anti-hypertensive medication primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is very high, leading to high blood pressure.

Olmesar Plus 20 Tablet contains two antihypertensive drugs, namely: azelnidipine and olmesartan medoxomil. Azelnidipine inhibits the activity of calcium channels in the heart's arteries. As a result, the blood arteries widen, and the blood supply to the heart increases, decreasing the increased blood pressure and the heart's strain. Olmesartan medoxomil acts by inhibiting the effect of angiotensin receptors that cause blood vessels to constrict. It improves blood flow and increases the heart's efficiency in pumping blood throughout the body. As a result, the risk of a future heart attack or stroke is reduced.

Olmesar Plus 20 Tablet should be taken according to the doctor's instructions. The dose will be based on your condition and response to the treatment.
