Olmesar Plus 20 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan Medoxomil and Azelnidipine. Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently. Azelnidipine is a calcium channel blocker. It regulates the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the pressure on them thereby making it easier for the heart to pump more blood throughout the body.
