Olmetec Plus

Olmetec Plus is a prescription drug that is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients Olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide which help lower blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate high blood pressure. Olmetec Plus is generally prescribed for individuals who have taken both Olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide without any issues.

The active ingredient in Olmetec Plus, Olmesartan, belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers. These drugs block the action a chemical called angiotensin II that tightens blood vessels. In the absence of this chemical, blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered.

The other active ingredient, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill. Diuretics get rid of excess water and salt to control blood pressure.

A high BP can increase your risk of heart attack, kidney diseases and stroke. Olmetec Plus can lower blood pressure and maintain it to reduce the risk of such dangerous medical conditions.

Olmetec Plus is an oral medication that is to be swallowed whole, exactly as directed by your doctor. This medicine can be taken with or without food at the same time every day.

The recommended dosage of Olmetec Plus is one tablet a day. Typical dosage of Olmesartan in adults is from 20-40 mg once per day while for hydrochlorothiazide it may be 12.5 to 25 mg once per day.

The dosage of Olmetec Plus is to be decided by your doctor and is based on a number of different factors including medical conditions, age, weight and other considerations. Follow your doctor’s prescription and do not alter the dosage without your doctor’s supervision.
