Olmetime-Am 40 Tablet consists of two active ingredients that work together to effectively manage high blood pressure:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 mg): This ingredient functions as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively prevents the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors found in vascular smooth muscle. By doing so, it manages to block the narrowing effects and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, which eventually results in a reduction in vascular resistance and blood pressure.

• Amlodipine Besilate (5 mg): Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It stops the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. The outcome of this action is vasodilation, which means that your blood vessels widen and relax, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure.

Remember that the actions stated above are what typically occur when taking this medication. Individual experiences may vary, and if you have any questions or concerns, you should consult your doctor.

• Store Olmetime-Am 40 Tablet in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Since Olmetime-Am 40 Tablet helps manage high blood pressure, try to eat a balanced diet low in salt and saturated fats. This can help lower your blood pressure and improve your overall health.

• Regular physical activity is also important. Aim to do moderate exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, for at least 150 minutes per week. This can help maintain a healthy blood pressure level and boost cardiovascular health. It is recommended to consult your doctor before making any changes to your routine.
