Uses

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Medicinal Benefits

Olmin 40-H Tablet is primarily used to reduce high blood pressure. It is a combination of two medicines, namely: Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolytes overload from the body. Together, Olmin 40-H Tablet lowers the fluid overload, raised blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduce the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.
