Olmark 10 Tablet

Olmark 10 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains olmesartan medoxomil 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class and is used to help lower high blood pressure (hypertension). By reducing blood pressure, Olmark 10 Tablet can help lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems related to uncontrolled hypertension. It is made by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Olmesartan medoxomil blocks angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels, so the vessels stay more relaxed and blood can flow more easily. As a tablet, Olmark 10 Tablet is swallowed and then converted in the body to its active form, which helps lower blood pressure over time.

Olmark 10 Tablet is the 10 mg strength, which is often suitable when a doctor wants to start with a lower dose or maintain blood pressure control with a smaller amount of medicine. Because there are no lower or higher strengths in our range, this tablet is the single available option and fits standard olmesartan dosing in patients whose prescriber has chosen 10 mg. It may be preferred when a clinician wants a gentler starting dose than higher-strength olmesartan tablets.
