Olmesar-M 50 Tablet ER

Olmesar-M 50 Tablet ER

Olmesar-M 50 Tablet ER is a prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce cardiovascular risk. It is a combination of Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, and Metoprolol Succinate, a beta-blocker that lowers heart rate and reduces the workload on the heart. The extended-release (ER) formulation ensures a steady release of the medication throughout the day, maintaining consistent blood pressure control. This dual-action therapy is particularly useful for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication. Regular use helps protect the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels from damage, lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications. Its effectiveness is enhanced when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, reduced salt intake, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
