Omten 40 mg Tablet

Omten 40 mg Tablet contains 40 mg of olmesartan medoxomil in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which are used mainly to treat high blood pressure. By helping relax blood vessels, Omten 40 mg Tablet can lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. A doctor may also prescribe it for other blood-pressure-related needs based on your medical history.

How it works: Olmesartan medoxomil is converted in the body to its active form, which blocks angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels. This tablet form delivers the 40 mg dose by mouth, helping blood vessels stay more relaxed so blood can flow more easily.

Omten 40 mg Tablet is the highest tablet strength available in this brand range, so it is usually chosen when a lower olmesartan dose has not been enough or when a doctor specifically wants the 40 mg dose. Because this is a full-strength tablet rather than a starter strength, it is meant for patients whose blood pressure plan has already been assessed by a clinician.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Blood pressure control in adults
• Lowering cardiovascular strain
• Doctor-directed long-term blood pressure management

• Swallow Omten 40 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• It can usually be taken with or without food.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• Keep taking it even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Omten 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of olmesartan medoxomil. For many adults, 40 mg may be used once daily if a doctor decides that this strength is appropriate, but the exact schedule depends on your blood pressure, other medicines, and kidney health. Do not take more than the prescribed amount; your doctor sets the dose, and 40 mg once daily is the usual maximum daily dose for olmesartan medoxomil tablets.

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