How it works

Olkem 20 CT Tablet is a combination of olmesartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone. Olmesartan medoxomil works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow, thereby relaxing and widening the blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body through urine, reducing fluid volume and easing the workload on the heart. Together, they help lower and control blood pressure effectively.
