WHAT SEVIKAR IS
USED FOR
SEVIKAR 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 SEVIKAR WORKS_
SEVIKAR 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. SEVIKAR
blocks the action of angiotensin-II
and therefore relaxes your blood
vessels. This helps lower your blood
pressure.
SEVIKAR also contains amlodipine
besilate, a calcium channel blocker.
This reduces the movement of
calcium into the cells of the heart and
blood vessels. This also helps to
lower blood pressure as it relaxes the
blood vessels and increases the
supply of blood and oxygen to the
heart.
Your doctor may have prescribed
SEVIKAR for another reason. Ask
your doctor if you have any questi
