Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II at AT1 receptors, lowering blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that increases salt and water excretion, reducing blood volume and vascular resistance. Together they provide additive blood pressure lowering.
