Scientific Evidence:

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

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.
