Olmezest H 20/12.5 mg tablet contains Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg as its active pharmaceutical ingredients. It is a combined drug medication used to treat controlling blood pressure. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly and can damage the blood vessels in the brain, heart, and kidney. Lowering high blood pressure helps to prevent serious conditions like strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. The combination of these two drugs makes this medicine more effective hypertensive medicine for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by olmesartan medoxomil alone.
Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker that widens and relaxes the blood vessels, thus increasing the blood flow and oxygen to the heart; it also lowers the aldosterone level (excess aldosterone leads to salt and water retention in the body and raises the blood pressure).
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, also known as a water pill, that helps the kidney remove unwanted water and salt from the body by reducing urine output and thus preventing strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
