Abetis Plus Tablet 40 mg is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide. This dual-action formula is designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) effectively. Olmesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), relaxes blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, reduces blood volume by promoting the excretion of salt and water. The combination helps achieve better blood pressure control and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Indications
Abetis Plus Tablet 40 mg is indicated for:
-
Treatment of hypertension in adults
-
Patients requiring combination therapy for enhanced blood pressure control
-
Reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with uncontrolled hypertension
It is particularly useful for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy.
Mechanism of Action
-
Olmesartan Medoxomil blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and lowering blood pressure through vasodilation.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide promotes renal excretion of sodium and water, decreasing blood volume and further reducing blood pressure.
The complementary actions of these two agents provide sustained and effective blood pressure reduction.
