Description
Product Overview
Olmesar-A 5 mg/20 mg Tablet is a prescription combination medication used for the treatment and management of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two effective antihypertensive medicines that work together to lower blood pressure, improve blood circulation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage. Olmesar-A is commonly prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication.
Active Ingredients
- Amlodipine 5 mg
- Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg
Amlodipine belongs to the Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) class, while Olmesartan belongs to the Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) class.
How It Works
Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure.
Olmesartan Medoxomil blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. This further relaxes blood vessels and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
Together, these medications provide effective and long-lasting blood pressure control.
