Olmesar 20 Mg

Olmesar 20 Mg is an angiotensin receptor blocker. It is also called an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist, or an AIIRA. You will have been prescribed olmesartan because your blood pressure is too high (hypertension). People with high blood pressure often do not feel unwell but, if left untreated, high blood pressure can harm the heart and damage blood vessels.

Olmesan 20 Mg works by blocking the effect of a substance in your body called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes your blood vessels to narrow, so by blocking its effect, olmesartan allows your blood vessels to relax and widen. As this happens, the pressure within your blood vessels is reduced.
