CO BARITEC 40MG 12.5MG TAB 10s

CO Baritec Tablet 40mg/12.5mg is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Olmesartan Medoxomil (40mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg). Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, and Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps reduce excess water and salt in the body. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure.
