Belsar Tablet 10 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, a widely used antihypertensive medication for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. This lower strength is often prescribed as an initial dose or for patients requiring mild to moderate blood pressure control. Effective management of blood pressure with Belsar reduces the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.

Composition

• Olmesartan Medoxomil – 10 mg

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil works by blocking the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing the action of angiotensin II—a hormone responsible for narrowing blood vessels. By inhibiting this effect, the medication promotes vasodilation, reduces vascular resistance, and helps maintain normal blood pressure levels.
