Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Olmekem 20 M Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Olmekem 20 M Tablet 10 comprises two active ingredients:

Metoprolol succinate (50 mg): This beta blocker reduces your heart's workload. It lowers its need for oxygen by blocking beta-blocker receptors in the heart. This action slows your heart rate and reduces the force with which your heart pumps blood out.
Olmesartan medoxomil (20 mg): This is as an angiotensin II receptor blocker. It works by blocking a substance in your body that causes blood vessels to tighten. By doing so, it helps relax and widen your blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure.

These components work together through different mechanisms, providing enhanced control over high blood pressure compared to either component alone.
