INTRODUCTION:-
OLSONG CT 20MG is a combination of Chlorthalidone and Olmesartan which belongs to theroup of medicines called Thiazide diuretics and Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists respectively. OLSONG CT 20MG is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension. Essential hypertension (also known as primary hypertension) is a medical condition in which the force of the blood exerted against the walls of the artery remains very high, and as a result it may lead to severe damage to the walls of blood vessels supplying various important organs. It occurs without any known secondary cause and if remains untreated it can lead to severe problems such as heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or even blindness.
Olmesartan is an Angiotensin-II receptor antagonist that effectively reduces blood pressure by blocking the actions of Angiotensin ? II (a substance that causes narrowing of blood vessels and increase in blood pressure) at the angiotensin type-I receptors and chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic that acts by increasing urinary excretion of sodium and water, thus reducing blood volume followed by a marked decrease in blood pressure. Along treatment with OLSONG CT 20MG follow the lifestyle modifications (such as losing weight, quitting smoking or alcohol intake) as advised by your physician along with a healthy balanced diet and a regular physical activity (such as walking or swimming).
