How Does It Work?

• Pinom M Tablet works by the combined action of both the components - olmesartan & metoprolol

• Metoprolol works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that affect the heart and blood vessels, thus reducing the blood pressure, heart rate and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.
