Duoblock Tablet contains Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg and Olmesartan Medoxomil 40 mg, a combination antihypertensive medicine used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). By combining a calcium channel blocker with an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Duoblock Tablet provides effective and sustained blood pressure control, especially in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and vision problems. Maintaining healthy blood pressure is essential for protecting the heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels. Duoblock Tablet helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels through two complementary mechanisms, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart.

Duoblock Tablet is intended for long-term blood pressure management and should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, along with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management, and reduced salt intake.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg
• Olmesartan Medoxomil 40 mg

How Duoblock Tablet Works

Duoblock Tablet combines two medicines that work together to lower blood pressure.

• Amlodipine Besilate is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessel walls, causing the arteries to widen and improving blood flow. This helps lower blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone responsible for narrowing blood vessels. By preventing this action, Olmesartan promotes blood vessel relaxation and further lowers blood pressure.

The combination provides better blood pressure control than either medicine alone in many patients.

Indications

Duoblock Tablet is indicated for:

• Essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Patients requiring combination therapy for blood pressure control
• Reduction of cardiovascular risks associated with uncontrolled hypertension, as determined by a physician
