NEXOVAS O 40mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Olmesartan Medoxomil (40.00mg per Tablet) and Cilnidipine (10.00mg per Tablet). Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing for smoother blood flow and lower blood pressure. This combination medication is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and helps lower the risk of cardiovascular events. NEXOVAS O 40mg offers dual-action in controlling blood pressure and provides a convenient option for patients requiring both Olmesartan Medoxomil and Cilnidipine.
