Pharmacological effect

The drug has a therapeutic effect due to the hypotensive properties of the components. The use of the medication causes persistent and long-term effects. Hydrochlorothiazide has a diuretic effect. Removing excess fluid from the vascular bed allows you to reduce the pressure in them. The diuretic effect is achieved by reducing sodium reabsorption in the renal tubules. The substance blocks the work of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and accelerates the excretion of potassium by the kidneys. Olmesartan medoxomil belongs to the group of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin II is involved in the complex mechanism of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. By inhibiting its properties, the substance interrupts the chain of activation of hormones that retain fluid in the body and lead to the development of arterial hypertension. The combination of a thiazide diuretic and an angiotensin II receptor antagonist is the ideal solution to combat high blood pressure. The hypotensive effect after using the minimum concentration of the drug lasts for 24 hours. The drug does not have a withdrawal syndrome and no rebound increase in blood pressure is observed when the drug is discontinued.
