Olmetus 20 Mg Tablet 10 contains olmesartan medoxomil (20 mg), which has the following effects on the body:

• Angiotensin II Receptor Blockade: Olmesartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to its receptor, specifically the AT1 subtype. Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow or constrict, increasing blood pressure.

• Blood Vessel Relaxation: By blocking angiotensin II's action on its receptor, Olmesartan causes blood vessels to relax and widen. This decreases the resistance the heart needs to pump against, ultimately reducing blood pressure.

• Long-Lasting Effect: Olmesartan's blood pressure-lowering effect lasts over 24 hours. This long-lasting effect helps manage hypertension effectively throughout the day.
