Olmesartan medoxomil is a prescription medication that is used to treat high blood pressure by blocking the action of a hormone in the body called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is responsible for constricting blood vessels, so by blocking its actions, olmesartan medoxomil helps to allow the blood vessels to dilate or widen which lowers the blood pressure. This helps to reduce the risks associated with long-term high blood pressure such as stroke, heart attacks, and kidney damage. It is important to note that this medication is meant to be used alongside a holistic treatment plan including lifestyle changes such as exercise and dietary changes.
