Olmiwar 20 CH Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medicines called ‘Anti-hypertensive’, primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Olmiwar 20 CH Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan and Chlorthalidone. Olmesartan 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. On the other hand, Chlorthalidone is a diuretic or water pill that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Together it lowers fluid overload and blood pressure and improves blood flow.

Take Olmiwar 20 CH Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, and cold extremes. Most of these side effects of Olmiwar 20 CH Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Olmiwar 20 CH Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely, Olmesartan (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Chlorthalidone (diuretic), primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that lower increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and therefore helps lower high blood pressure. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. On the other hand, Chlorthalidone, a diuretic, works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys and lowering blood pressure. Together it lowers the overall raised blood pressure and reduces the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems. Olmiwar 20 CH Tablet 10's is generally used when a single medicine is ineffective in controlling blood pressure.
