CompositionOlmesar 20 Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Keeping blood pressure under control helps lower the risk of serious problems such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
It contains olmesartan medoxomil and belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the action of a hormone (angiotensin-II) that tightens the blood vessels, allowing them to relax and widen so blood can flow more easily. Take it daily at the same time each day, and continue taking it even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Healthy lifestyle changes support blood pressure control alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney problems or other medicines you take, and whether you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, as it is not suitable in pregnancy. Stand up slowly to reduce dizziness, and your doctor may check your kidney function and blood salts from time to time.
