Olmesartan/Amlodipine is an ARB / CCB / Diuretic (water pill) and is used to treat high blood pressure.

Olmesartan/Amlodipine is a combination of three medications that lower blood pressure. Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin II is a hormone that normally attaches to its signaling proteins (receptors) in the body to raise your blood pressure. Olmesartan blocks this interaction from happening to lower your blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It works by relaxing your blood vessels to lower your blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It works in your kidneys to remove extra water and certain electrolytes, like sodium and potassium. This helps lower blood pressure.

The typical starting dose for Olmesartan/Amlodipine is 20 mg/5 mg/12.5 mg (Olmesartan/Amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide) by mouth once daily. Your provider will adjust your dose based on how well it’s helping your blood pressure and if you’re having side effects. The maximum dose is 40 mg/10 mg/25 mg (Olmesartan/Amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide) once daily.
