Olmesartan Medoxomil
Olmesartan Medoxomil belongs to a group of medicines called anti-hypertensives. More specifically, it’s an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin II is a natural hormone that tightens your blood vessels, raising your blood pressure. Olmesartan blocks this action, allowing your blood vessels to relax and widen—making it easier for your heart to pump and reducing your blood pressure.
Once taken orally, Olmesartan Medoxomil is converted in your gut into its active form: Olmesartan. This process allows it to start acting effectively inside your body.
