Product Introduction
Pinom-H 40/12.5 mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of two antihypertensive medications: Olmesartan Medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. This combination is effective in managing high blood pressure when monotherapy is not sufficient. It helps lower elevated blood pressure, reduces the strain on the heart, and protects vital organs from damage.
