Indications:

Cardosal tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension to lower blood pressure. They may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Directions:

Mechanism of Action:

Olmesartan medoxomil, the active ingredient in Cardosal, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of angiotensin II. This substance in the body causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this action, olmesartan medoxomil helps relax and widen the blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Scientific Evidence:

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of olmesartan medoxomil in reducing blood pressure and managing hypertension. A study published in the American Journal of Hypertension showed that olmesartan medoxomil was effective in lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to a placebo.
