OMNIPRESH AM TABLET 10'S

How OMNIPRESH AM TABLET 10'S Works

• OMNIPRESH AM Tablet 10's is a combination medication designed to effectively manage hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure. It combines two powerful active ingredients: Amlodipine and Olmesartan Medoxomil, each working through different mechanisms to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily. Specifically, Amlodipine blocks calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessel walls. Calcium is essential for muscle contraction, so by blocking its entry, Amlodipine prevents the muscles from contracting and causing the vessels to narrow. This relaxation of blood vessels leads to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, which in turn lowers blood pressure. The reduced resistance makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, reducing strain on the heart muscle.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure. It also stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water, further increasing blood volume and blood pressure. Olmesartan Medoxomil works by blocking the action of angiotensin II. It binds to the angiotensin II receptors, preventing angiotensin II from binding and exerting its effects. This results in vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and reduced aldosterone secretion. The vasodilation helps to lower blood pressure, while the reduced aldosterone secretion helps to decrease sodium and water retention, further contributing to blood pressure reduction.
• By combining Amlodipine and Olmesartan Medoxomil, OMNIPRESH AM Tablet 10's provides a dual mechanism of action that effectively lowers blood pressure. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, while Olmesartan Medoxomil blocks the effects of angiotensin II. This combination provides additive effects that control blood pressure more effectively than either drug used alone. This synergistic effect helps in achieving target blood pressure levels, thus reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
• The combined action of both components ensures a comprehensive approach to managing hypertension, addressing both blood vessel constriction and hormonal influences on blood pressure. Regular intake, as prescribed by your doctor, alongside lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, can significantly improve cardiovascular health.
