Abetis Plus Tablet 20 mg is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide. This dual-action formula is designed to effectively manage high blood pressure (hypertension) by combining an angiotensin II receptor blocker (Olmesartan) with a thiazide diuretic (Hydrochlorothiazide). Olmesartan relaxes blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide helps eliminate excess salt and water from the body. Together, they provide enhanced blood pressure control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Indications
Abetis Plus Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:
-
Treatment of hypertension in adults
-
Patients who require combination therapy for better blood pressure management
-
Reduction of cardiovascular risks associated with uncontrolled hypertension
It is particularly useful for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single antihypertensive agent.
Mechanism of Action
-
Olmesartan Medoxomil selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing blood vessel constriction and promoting vasodilation, which lowers blood pressure.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, reducing blood volume and helping further decrease blood pressure.
The combination provides complementary mechanisms to achieve effective and sustained blood pressure reduction.
