Olmezest AM Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil (20 mg): This ingredient falls under the angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) category. It acts by preventing the binding of a hormone called angiotensin II to its receptors in your body. Angiotensin II usually narrows blood vessels and releases another hormone that increases salt and water in your body. By blocking these effects, Olmesartan Medoxomil helps lower your blood pressure.
• Amlodipine (5 mg): This is a calcium channel blocker. It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into your heart and blood vessel cells. This action helps to relax and widen your blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
