OLMAX H 40 TAB

AboutOLMAX H 40 TAB is a combination medication containing Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and thus lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, often called a "water pill," which helps the body get rid of excess salt and water. This dual action reduces blood volume and relaxes blood vessels, leading to a significant reduction in high blood pressure. This combination is particularly effective for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy. It helps to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems by maintaining blood pressure within a healthy range.UsesTreatment of essential hypertension.Management of high blood pressure not controlled by monotherapy.Reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with hypertension.Prevention of stroke and heart attack in hypertensive patients.Directions For UseTake this medication orally, usually once daily with or without food, as directed by your physician.
