How Olmesar AV Tablet works
Olmesar AV 20 mg/10 mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan and Atorvastatin which treat high blood pressure and cholesterol. Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides and raises "good" cholesterol (HDL). |
