Abecab Tablet 10 mg+40 mg is a fixed-dose combination medication used for the effective management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains Amlodipine Besilate, a calcium channel blocker, and Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). This combination provides a synergistic effect in lowering blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood circulation. It is especially useful for patients who require more intensive blood pressure control than single-drug therapy.

Indications

Abecab Tablet is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Patients not adequately controlled with monotherapy
• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage

Consistent blood pressure control helps prevent long-term complications associated with hypertension.

Mechanism of Action

• Amlodipine Besilate inhibits calcium ion influx into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral vascular resistance.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil selectively blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion, which helps lower blood pressure.

Together, these two agents work through different pathways to achieve better and more sustained blood pressure control.

Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dose is one tablet once daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.
