How it Works?
Renolsar AM 40 Tablet comprises two active ingredients:
• Amlodipine (5 mg): A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that inhibits the entry of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes, resulting in vasodilation and decreased cardiac workload, thereby lowering blood pressure.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that selectively binds to AT1 receptors, causing vasodilation by preventing angiotensin II from constricting blood vessels. It also reduces sodium and water retention, contributing to blood pressure reduction.
Safety Measures & Warnings

Renolsar AM 40 Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential adverse effects on the foetus.
