OLMYSAR PLUS 20MG/12.5MG TAB 28s

Omesar Plus is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Omesar Plus contains two active substances, olmesartan medoxomil and
hydrochlorothiazide, that are used to treat high blood pressure
(hypertension):
* Olmesartan medoxomil is one of a group of medicines called angiotensin
II-receptor antagonists. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood
vessels.
* Hydrochlorothiazide is one of a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics
(“water tablets”). It lowers blood pressure by helping the body to get rid of
extra fluid by making your kidneys produce more urine.
You will only be given Omesar Plus if Omesar (olmesartan medoxomil) alone
has not adequately controlled your blood pressure. When given together, the
two active substances in Omesar Plus help to lower blood pressure more
than if either of them were given alone.
You may already be taking medicines to treat your high blood pressure, but
your doctor may want you to take Omesar Plus to lower it more.
High blood pressure can be controlled with medicines such as Omesar Plus
tablets. Your doctor has probably also recommended that you make some
changes in your lifestyle to help lower your blood pressure (for example
losing weight, giving up smoking, reducing the amount of alcohol you drink
and reducing the amount of salt in your diet). Your doctor may also have
urged you to take regular exercise, such as walking or swimming. It is
important to follow this advice from your doctor.
