Frequently asked questions

What is Olmetec Plus used for?+
Olmetec Plus is a fixed‑dose combination of olmesartan medoxil and hydrochlorothiazide that is prescribed to lower high blood pressure. It is used in adults with essential hypertension and may be part of a broader treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes and other antihypertensive agents.
How does olmesartan medoxomil work?+
Olmesartan medoxomil is a pro‑drug that is converted to olmesartan, which selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. This inhibition prevents angiotensin II‑mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone release, leading to relaxed blood vessels and reduced blood‑volume‑driven pressure.
What is the usual dose of Olmetec Plus?+
The dose of Olmetec Plus is individualized by a prescriber based on the patient’s blood‑pressure readings, renal function and other clinical factors. Physicians determine the appropriate strength and dosing schedule for each patient.
Is Olmetc Plus safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Olmesartan‑containing products are contraindicated in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy because of the risk of fetal toxicity. Safety during breastfeeding has not been established, so the medication should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the possible risk to the infant.
How do I order Olmetec Plus from GNH USA?+

How does Olmetec Plus compare with other antihypertensive options?+
Olmetec Plus combines an ARB with a thiazide diuretic, offering a two‑pronged approach to blood‑pressure control.
