OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL 20 MG

DESCRIPTION

Olmilip-20 Tablet (Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 Mg ) is used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains Olmesartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Olmesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this hormone, Olmesartan relaxes and dilates blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.

INDIACTION

Hypertension : Olmilip-20 Tablet (Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 Mg ) Hypertension is a condition characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure, where the force of circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels is consistently high. This increased pressure can lead to damage of the arteries and an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Olmesartan medoxomil 20 mg is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by inhibiting the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking the angiotensin II receptors, Olmesartan medoxomil promotes the relaxation and dilation of blood vessels, which reduces vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure. This mechanism not only helps to manage hypertension but also decreases the workload on the heart and reduces the risk of related cardiovascular events. Through its action, Olmesartan medoxomil effectively controls blood pressure and supports overall cardiovascular health.
