Amlodipine and Olmesartan Medoxomil

Indications

Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablet is a combination of amlodipine besylate, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and olmesartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, indicated for the treatment of hypertension, alone or with other antihypertensive agents, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions (1). Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablet may also be used as initial therapy in patients likely to need multiple antihypertensive agents to achieve their blood pressure goals (1).
