Product introduction
Olmin A Tablet combines olmesartan medoxomil, an angiotensin receptor blocker, with amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, to tackle high blood pressure from two different angles at once. Eris Lifesciences produces it in strips of 10 tablets, positioning it as an option for patients who need stronger blood pressure control than a single medicine can provide. The combination is intended for consistent daily use rather than as-needed relief. Given the two active ingredients, dosage should always be set and monitored by a treating doctor.
Storage: Store below 30°C, away from direct light and moisture
