Olmesar H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet

Olmesar H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet

Olmesar H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. It contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic that helps remove excess fluid from the body, supporting blood pressure control. This dual-action formulation is prescribed for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication. By improving blood flow and reducing fluid retention, Olmesar H 12.5mg/20mg Tablet helps protect the heart, kidneys, and arteries from damage, lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney-related issues. Regular use along with lifestyle measures such as a balanced diet, reduced salt intake, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and alcohol enhances its effectiveness.
