Product Description
OLMEZEST CH 40mg is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Olmesartan Medoxomil (40.00mg/Tablet) and Chlorthalidone (12.50mg/Tablet). Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that increases urine production, promoting the elimination of excess fluid and salt from the body. This combination is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and can help lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. OLMEZEST CH 40mg is prescribed by a doctor and should be taken as directed, typically once daily.
