Introduction

Pinom-H 20 Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the management of high blood pressure. It combines Olmesartan, which helps relax blood vessels, and Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that removes extra water and salt from the body. Together, they lower blood pressure, ease the workload of the heart, and reduce the chances of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
