Olmesartan Medoxomil + Cilnidipine + Chlorthalidone

Olmesartan Medoxomil + Cilnidipine + Chlorthalidone is a triple-combination medication used to effectively control high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines an angiotensin receptor blocker (Olmesartan), a calcium channel blocker (Cilnidipine), and a diuretic (Chlorthalidone) to lower blood pressure through multiple mechanisms. This combination helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems in people with chronic hypertension. It is usually prescribed when single or dual therapies do not provide sufficient blood pressure control.
