Olmy-H Tablet

Olmy-H Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a diuretic (water pill), and Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg), an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). Together, they help lower blood pressure effectively, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. This medicine is usually prescribed when a single medication does not provide enough blood pressure control. With regular use and a healthy lifestyle, Olmy-H Tablet helps maintain long-term heart and kidney health.
