Olmo 20 mg Tablet

Olmo 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 in adults. By reducing blood pressure, Olmo 20 mg Tablet can also help lower the risk of complications linked to uncontrolled hypertension, such as stroke and heart problems. This pack contains 10 tablets, supplied by Knoll Healthcare, India.

How it works: Olmo 20 mg Tablet works by blocking angiotensin II, a natural substance that narrows blood vessels. When taken as a tablet, olmesartan medoxomil is absorbed and helps blood vessels relax so blood can flow more easily and blood pressure goes down.

Olmo 20 mg Tablet is the lowest strength in the Olmo range we carry, with no lower-strength sibling available. That makes it a common choice when a doctor wants a lower starting or maintenance dose before moving to Olmo 40 mg Tablet if more blood pressure control is needed. The effect is not instant, and the tablet is chosen based on the patient’s blood pressure response, kidney function, and overall treatment plan.

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Blood pressure control to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk
• May be used as part of a broader blood pressure treatment plan

• Swallow the Olmo 20 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• You can take it with or without food.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• If you feel dizzy when starting Olmo 20 mg Tablet, rise slowly from sitting or lying down.
• Follow the exact dose and schedule your doctor prescribes; do not change to Olmo 40 mg Tablet unless instructed.

Each Olmo 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of olmesartan medoxomil. Depending on your blood pressure response, a doctor may prescribe it once daily and may adjust the dose over time; the maximum daily dose is determined by the prescriber, but it is commonly used as part of a once-daily regimen. Do not take more than directed, and do not assume this 20 mg strength is interchangeable with the 40 mg tablet.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
