Abetis Tablet 20 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) widely used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It helps relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing overall blood pressure levels. Effective blood pressure control with Abetis reduces the risk of serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. It is suitable for long-term therapy under proper medical supervision.

Indications

Abetis Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Reduction of cardiovascular risks including stroke and myocardial infarction
• Protection of kidney function in patients with hypertension

It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications when additional blood pressure control is needed.

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil works by selectively blocking angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict and increases blood pressure. By inhibiting this action, Olmesartan promotes vasodilation, decreases peripheral resistance, and lowers blood pressure without significantly affecting heart rate.
