Olmesartan Medoxomil

An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that helps relax blood vessels.

Amlodipine

A calcium channel blocker that also helps relax blood vessels and lower heart rate.

Hydrochlorothiazide

A thiazide diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water.

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine alone.

May be used as initial therapy in patients likely to require threedrug combination therapy.

This combination drug works by lowering blood pressure through three different mechanisms. Olmesartan medoxomil blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels directly. Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output, reducing blood volume and blood pressure.
