Product Description
OLMEZEST H 20mg is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Olmesartan Medoxomil (20.00mg/Tablet) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.50mg/Tablet). Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that increases urine production, promoting the elimination of excess fluid and salts from the body. This combination is prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients where combination therapy is suitable. OLMEZEST H 20mg helps to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with hypertension.
