Olmezest Am 40 Tablet 10

Olmezest AM 40 Tablet is used in adults to manage high blood pressure, helping reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

Uses of Olmezest AM 40 Tablet are:

• High Blood Pressure: Manages hypertension, especially when a single medicine alone does not provide adequate control.
• Cardiovascular Protection: Reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke associated with high blood pressure.

Here's how you should take your Olmezest AM 40 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing it.

• Try to take this medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.

• Don't stop taking this medicine suddenly without speaking to your doctor first.

Olmezest AM 40 Tablet is taken orally.

Olmezest AM 40 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Olmesartan medoxomil (40 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by selectively binding to certain receptors in your body, known as angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. This prevents actions that normally cause blood vessels to narrow and encourages them to widen instead. It also reduces sodium and water retention in your body, further helping to lower your blood pressure.

• Amlodipine (5 mg): As a calcium channel blocker (CCB), amlodipine inhibits the entrance of calcium into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes. In simpler terms, it helps your blood vessels widen and reduces the work your heart has to do, resulting in lowered blood pressure.

• Store the medicine at room temperature,

  away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Keep it out of reach of children.

• Use the medicine before the expiration date printed on the pack.

• Since this medicine is used to manage hypertension, consider reducing your salt intake. Consuming less salt can help control high blood pressure.

• Regular physical activity is key to lowering blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
