Description: Olmetec 40/12.5 mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a diuretic, which work together to lower blood pressure more effectively than either component alone. This medication helps to relax blood vessels and remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
Ingredients:
-
Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 mg): An angiotensin II receptor antagonist that relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): A thiazide diuretic that helps prevent the body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.
Usage Instructions:
-
Dosage: Take one tablet daily.

Special Considerations: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and regularly monitor your blood pressure.
