What is Olsar H 20mg (OLMESARTAN)?
ARB for hypertension, alone or in combination with amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide. One of the more potent and longest-acting ARBs.
How it Works
Selective AT1 receptor antagonist — blocks angiotensin II vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. Irreversible binding to AT1 provides longer duration of action.
