Olmeday 20 mg Tablet

Olmeday 20 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 20 mg of olmesartan medoxomil in each tablet. It belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class and is used to help lower high blood pressure. By reducing blood pressure, Olmeday 20 mg Tablet can lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems related to hypertension. It is made by Salubry Life Sciences and comes as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Olmesartan medoxomil blocks the action of angiotensin II, a natural substance that tightens blood vessels. In this tablet form, it helps blood vessels relax and widen so blood can flow more easily and blood pressure can come down.

Olmeday 20 mg Tablet is a moderate-strength tablet, so it may be chosen when a lower dose is not enough but a higher dose is not yet needed. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, the 20 mg tablet is the specific tablet version available here and should be used only as directed by a clinician who has checked your blood pressure response.
