Composition of Olmecip 40

Uses of Olmecip 40
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Heart failure
- Prevention of heart attack
- Stroke
Benefits of Olmecip 40
- In High blood pressure
- Olmecip relaxes and widens your blood vessels so the heart pumps against less resistance. Lowering blood pressure cuts the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage, even though you will not feel it working.
- In Heart failure
- Olmecip eases the load on a weak heart so it pumps more efficiently, which reduces breathlessness and swelling and lowers the chance of a hospital admission.
- In Diabetic kidney disease
- Olmecip reduces the pressure inside the kidneys' filters and cuts the protein leaking into the urine, slowing the kidney damage that diabetes causes.
How Olmecip 40 works
Olmecip 40 Tablet is an angiotensin receptor blocker (arb). It relaxes the blood vessel by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.

Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
