WHAT THIS MEDICINE USED FOR APO-OLMESARTAN/ AMLODIPINE/ HCTZ is used to treat high blood pressure which is sometimes called hypertension. Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps push blood all around your body. Your blood pressure changes at different times of the day, depending on how busy or worried you are. You have hypertension (high blood pressure) when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed. There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems, including stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. _HOW THIS MEDICINE WORKS _ This medicine contains olmesartan medoxomil, which belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in the body which causes blood vessels to tighten. This medicine blocks the action of angiotensin-II and therefore relaxes your blood vessels. This helps lower your blood pressure. This medicine also contains amlodipine besilate, a calcium channel blocker. This reduces the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels.
