How Olmin 40 mg LN Tablet 15's Works

Olmin 40 mg LN Tablet 15's contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to lower your blood pressure. The first component, olmesartan medoxomil, is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a natural substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow, allowing the blood vessels to relax. The second component, cilnidipine, is a calcium channel blocker. It prevents calcium from entering the muscle cells of your blood vessels, which stops them from contracting and helps them widen. Together, these two actions reduce the pressure inside your blood vessels, making it much easier for your heart to circulate blood.
