Olmesar A40 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. In simple terms, it reduces high blood pressure by preventing calcium from entering certain cells in your heart and blood vessels. This causes the cells to relax and blood vessels to dilate or widen, thereby lowering blood pressure.

• Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 mg): This ingredient is a prodrug that transforms into olmesartan once ingested. As an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist, it blocks the activity of a substance called angiotensin II which can cause blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this substance, olmesartan helps relax and widen blood vessels which lowers blood pressure.

These two ingredients work together to effectively reduce high blood pressure.
