Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients who require combination therapy to achieve adequate blood pressure control.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering smooth muscle cells, while olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that prevents blood vessels from narrowing. Together, they lower blood pressure through complementary mechanisms.
May cause dizziness or swelling; avoid during pregnancy; inform your doctor of kidney problems or heart conditions before starting therapy. Alcohol may increase blood pressure-lowering effects. Do not use with aliskiren in diabetic patients.
