Composition

• Amlodipine Besilate – 5 mg
• Olmesartan Medoxomil – 40 mg

Mechanism of Action

Belsar-M Tablet works through dual action:

• Amlodipine Besilate: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure
• Olmesartan Medoxomil: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance responsible for narrowing blood vessels, thereby promoting vasodilation

Together, these effects provide stronger and sustained control of blood pressure.
