Pinom 40 Tablet

Pinom 40 Tablet is a prescription tablet containing olmesartan medoxomil 40 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class and is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). By helping relax blood vessels, Pinom 40 Tablet can lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. It is taken by mouth as a standard tablet and is one of the higher strengths in this brand.

How it works: Olmesartan medoxomil is converted in the body to its active form, which blocks angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels. In tablet form, Pinom 40 Tablet helps blood vessels stay more relaxed so blood can flow more easily and blood pressure goes down.

Pinom 40 Tablet is the 40 mg strength, which is a higher-dose option compared with Pinom 10 Tablet and Pinom 20 Tablet. Doctors may choose this strength for people who need stronger blood-pressure control or who have already been assessed on a lower dose and need an increase. Because it is a higher-strength tablet, it should only be used when a clinician has decided that 40 mg is appropriate.

• May help lower the risk of long-term blood pressure complications

Pinom 40 Tablet provides olmesartan medoxomil 40 mg per tablet, which is the upper usual dose for many adults with hypertension.
