DESCRIPTION

Olmilip-H Tablet is a combination of Hydrochlorothiazide and Olmesartan. It is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). This medicine works by relaxing the blood vessels and also increasing the water and sodium excretion from the body. Thus it promotes the smooth flow of blood and also allows your heart to pump blood more efficiently.

INDICATION

• Hypertension : Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which the force exerted by the circulating blood on the walls of the blood vessel is high. Olmilip-H Tablet is used to control high blood pressure.

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

Olmesartan : This is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that inhibits the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking the angiotensin II receptors, Olmesartan causes blood vessels to relax and widen, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload.

Hydrochlorothiazide : This is a thiazide diuretic that increases the excretion of sodium and water through the kidneys. By reducing the volume of fluid in the bloodstream, Hydrochlorothiazide helps lower blood pressure and decreases the heart’s workload.
