Hydrochlorothiazide 12.50 mg + Olmesartan 40.00 mg
Product Description
OLMETRACK H 40mg is a fixed dose combination medication that contains Olmesartan (40.00mg per tablet) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.50mg per tablet). Olmesartan belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which helps in relaxing blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that works by increasing the amount of urine produced, helping to remove excess fluid and salt from the body. This combination medication is prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when treatment with either Olmesartan or Hydrochlorothiazide alone is not sufficient. It helps in reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. OLMETRACK H 40mg should be used as prescribed by your doctor and in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
