About Cetanil O Tablet

Cetanil O Tablet belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Hypertension is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it leads to heart diseases.

Olmesartan works by blocking the action of certain substances that are responsible for tightening the blood vessels. It allows the blood to flow more smoothly and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it reduces the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future.
