WHAT OLMESARTAN/HCT
SANDOZ IS USED FOR
Olmesartan/HCT Sandoz 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 OLMESARTAN/HCT _
_SANDOZ WORKS _
Olmesartan/HCT Sandoz 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.
Olmesartan/HCT Sandoz blocks the
action of angiotensin-II and therefore
relaxes your blood vessels. This
helps lower your blood pressure.
Olmesartan/HCT Sandoz also
contains a diuretic which reduces the
amount of fluid in the body. This also
helps to lower blood pressure.
Your doctor may have prescribed
Olmesartan/HCT Sandoz for another
reason. Ask your doctor if you have
any questions abo
