Mode of Action of Olmezest H 40mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
How Does It Work?
- Olmezest H 40 tablet contains a combination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide as active substances.
- Olmesartan works by blocking a substance in the body that causes the blood vessels to tighten. The tightening of the blood vessels restricts proper blood flow and causes the blood pressure to increase. When this substance is blocked, the blood vessels relax and blood flow occurs easily. As a result, the blood pressure is lowered. ...
