Olmetime-AMH 40 Tablet (Olmesartan Medoxomil 40mg / Amlodipine 5mg / Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg)

Olmetime-Amh 40mg Tablet 10’s belongs to a group of medications called ‘anti-hypertensives’ primarily used for lowering high blood pressure (hypertension) by removing extra fluid (electrolytes) from the body. High blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood’s force against the artery wall is high. As a result, it increases the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Olmetime-Amh 40mg Tablet 10’s is a combination of three medicines, namely: Olmesartan medoximil, Amlodipine, 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. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, it reduces the heart’s workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that removes extra water/fluid and certain electrolytes overload from the body. Together, Olmetime-Amh 40mg Tablet 10’s lowers the fluid overload, raised blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.
