Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

METOPROLOL SUCCINATE-50MG + OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL-20MG

Uses:

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Medicinal Benefits:

Olmistrum MT 20mg/50mg Tablet ER is a combination of two medicines, Olmesartan Medoxomil and Metoprolol, which together help in lowering raised blood pressure effectively. Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Metoprolol (beta-blocker) helps in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. This lowers your blood pressure and helps reduce your risk of a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.
