Composition

• Olmesartan Medoxomil – 20 mg
• Hydrochlorothiazide – 12.5 mg

Mechanism of Action

This combination works through two complementary pathways:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, resulting in reduced vascular resistance and lower blood pressure
• Hydrochlorothiazide: A thiazide diuretic that promotes the excretion of excess salt and water through urine, thereby reducing blood volume and helping to lower blood pressure

Together, these actions provide enhanced and sustained blood pressure control.
