The drug OLMEKAR HCT contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Olmesartan medoxomil
UNII 6M97XTV3HD - OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL
|
|
Olmesartan medoxomil is a potent, orally active, selective angiotensin II receptor (type AT1) antagonist. It is expected to block all actions of angiotensin II mediated by the AT1 receptor, regardless of the source or route of synthesis of angiotensin II. The selective antagonism of the angiotensin II (AT1) receptors results in increases in plasma renin levels and angiotensin I and II concentrations, and some decrease in plasma aldosterone concentrations. |
|
2
Amlodipine
UNII 1J444QC288 - AMLODIPINE
|
|
Amlodipine is a calcium ion influx inhibitor of the dihydropyridine group (slow channel blocker or calcium ion antagonist) and inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into cardiac and vascular smooth muscle. |
|
3
Hydrochlorothiazide
UNII 0J48LPH2TH - HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE
|
|
Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic with antihypertensive properties. It acts by inhibiting the renal tubular re-absorption of sodium and chloride ions, which are excreted with an accompanying volume of water. Potassium excretion is also promoted. |
