Patient summary
Olmesartan 10mg, 20mg and 40mg film-coated tablets for hypertension. An angiotensin II receptor blocker that widens narrowed blood vessels.
Mechanism of action
It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. By relaxing these vessels, it allows blood to flow more easily, which lowers blood pressure.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Absolute contraindication; may cause fetal injury or death. Breastfeeding: Not recommended.
Olmesartan belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class and comes as film-coated tablets in 10, 20 and 40mg strengths. The active ingredient, olmesartan, is used to treat high blood pressure. Daiichi Sankyo is the originator company; Olmetec is another name for the medicine.
It blocks angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. With those vessels relaxed, blood flows more easily and pressure falls. The effect develops over 1–2 weeks, and each dose lasts about 24 hours. Olmesartan is contraindicated in pregnancy because it may cause fetal injury or death. Should pregnancy occur during treatment, stop the medicine and speak to your doctor without delay (MedlinePlus).
