Patient Guide: Nexovas O Tablet

Overview

Nexovas O Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage blood pressure and provide overall cardiovascular health. As a patient, it is essential to understand how this medication works and what to expect from its use. In this guide, we will walk you through the key aspects of Nexovas O Tablet.

Uses

Nexovas O Tablet is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It is a combination of two active ingredients: Olmesartan Medoxomil and Cilnidipine. Olmesartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that helps relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that also helps to relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure.

Mechanism of Action

The combination of Olmesartan Medoxomil and Cilnidipine works in two ways to manage blood pressure:

• Olmesartan Medoxomil: Blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, causing blood pressure to rise.
• Cilnidipine: Blocks the flow of calcium ions into the cells of blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen, reducing blood pressure.

Dosage

The recommended dosage of Nexovas O Tablet is one tablet per day. It is essential to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the active ingredients in your body. Do not take more or less than the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
