The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, or as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

Attento tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension to lower blood pressure.

Scientific Evidence:

Studies have shown that olmesartan medoxomil, the active ingredient in Attento, effectively lowers blood pressure by blocking the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. This action results in vasodilation and decreased blood pressure levels.

Research published in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension demonstrated the superior efficacy of olmesartan medoxomil compared to other angiotensin II receptor blockers in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Additional Information:

It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure levels while taking Attento to ensure optimal efficacy. In case of any adverse reactions or concerns, consult a healthcare provider immediately.

Attento has been well-tolerated in clinical trials, with common side effects including dizziness, headache, and fatigue. However, serious side effects such as renal impairment are rare but possible, requiring close monitoring during treatment.
