Olmat-40 H Tablet 15's

Question 1

How does Olmat-40 H Tablet 15's work?

Accepted Answer

Olmat-40 H Tablet 15's is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan medoximil and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan medoximil is a prodrug and breaks down into active form, i.e., olmesartan once absorbed in the GIT (Gastrointestinal tract). It 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 electrolyte overload from the body. Together, Olmat-40 H Tablet 15's lowers the fluid overload, raises blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.
