Product Introduction
Olmezest AM Tablet is a combination medication designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). This tablet contains two active ingredients—Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg) and Amlodipine (5mg)—that work together to lower blood pressure. By managing blood pressure, Olmezest AM helps reduce the risk of serious heart conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
Key Benefits
- Controls Hypertension: Olmezest AM helps to lower high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood circulation.
- Reduces Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke: By effectively controlling blood pressure, the medicine helps reduce the chances of future cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
- Prevents Kidney Damage: Proper blood pressure control can prevent damage to the kidneys, a common complication of uncontrolled hypertension.
How Olmezest AM Tablet Works
Olmezest AM Tablet is a combination of two medicines:
- Olmesartan Medoxomil: An Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB), which works by relaxing the blood vessels. This helps the blood flow more easily and lowers blood pressure.
- Amlodipine: A Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB), which also helps to relax blood vessels and reduce the workload on the heart. This improves the efficiency of blood circulation.
Together, these two medicines help to lower your blood pressure and improve heart function, reducing the risks associated with hypertension.
