Olkem 40 AM Tablet’1*15

Product introduction
Olkem 40 AM Tablet is a combination of two medicines — Olmesartan Medoxomil and Amlodipine — that helps control high blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

Olkem 40 AM Tablet can be taken with or without food, preferably at a fixed time each day, as advised by your doctor.
