OLMEDINE 20/5MG TAB 28s

Olmedine contains two substances called olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine (as amlodipine
besilate). Both of these substances help to control high blood pressure.
 Olmesartan medoxomil belongs to a group of medicines called “angiotensin-II receptor
antagonists” which lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels.
 Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called “calcium channel blockers”.
Amlodipine stops calcium from moving into the blood vessel wall which stops the blood vessels
from tightening thereby also reducing blood pressure.
The actions of both these substances contribute to stopping the tightening of blood vessels, so
that blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases.
Olmedine is used for the treatment of high blood pressure in patients whose blood pressure is not
controlled enough with either olmesartan medoxomil or amlodipine alone.
