Frequently asked questions

What is Olmesartan Medoxilo Ciclum used for?+
Olmesartan Medoxilo Ciclum contains olmesartan medoxil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker that is primarily prescribed to lower high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension or related heart conditions.
How does olmesartan medoxil work?+
Olmesartan medoxil selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, preventing angiotensin II from causing blood vessels to narrow. This results in vasodilation, reduced sodium and water retention, and ultimately lower systemic blood pressure.
