What is Olmesartan used for?

Olmesartan is prescribed for high blood pressure. Keeping pressure under control lowers the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage.

How Olmesartan works

It relaxes and widens blood vessels, slows the heart, or helps the body pass extra salt and water, so the heart has less resistance to push against and pressure falls.
