Belsar Tablet 20 mg contains Olmesartan Medoxomil, an effective antihypertensive agent used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which help relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Proper control of blood pressure with Belsar helps reduce the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

Composition

• Olmesartan Medoxomil – 20 mg

Mechanism of Action

Olmesartan Medoxomil selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing the vasoconstrictive effects of angiotensin II.
