Duoblock Tablet contains Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg and Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg, a combination antihypertensive medicine used for the treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). This dual-action formulation combines a calcium channel blocker and an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) to provide effective, long-lasting blood pressure control in patients whose hypertension is not adequately managed with a single medication.

High blood pressure often develops without noticeable symptoms but can significantly increase the risk of serious health problems, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and vision loss. Duoblock Tablet helps lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. Regular use, together with a healthy lifestyle, helps protect vital organs and supports long-term cardiovascular health.

Duoblock Tablet should be taken under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional and is intended for long-term management of hypertension.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg
• Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg

How Duoblock Tablet Works

Duoblock Tablet combines two medicines with complementary mechanisms of action:

• Amlodipine Besilate is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels. This widens the arteries, improves blood flow, and lowers blood pressure while reducing the workload on the heart.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By preventing this effect, Olmesartan relaxes blood vessels and further reduces blood pressure.

Together, these two medicines provide more effective blood pressure control than either medicine alone.

Duoblock Tablet is indicated for:

• Essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
