Olmetec Plus is designed to manage high blood pressure in patients whose condition is not adequately controlled by olmesartan alone or who may benefit from the combined actions of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. By using a combination therapy, Olmetec Plus can more effectively lower blood pressure, which reduces the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems associated with untreated hypertension.

Description

Olmetec Plus is a combination medication that includes olmesartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker, ARB) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic, or water pill). This medication is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Olmetec Plus combines the blood vessel-relaxing effects of olmesartan with the fluid-reducing action of hydrochlorothiazide, resulting in more efficient blood pressure reduction.
