Baritec-A 20/5mg Tablets – 20 Tablets | Olmesartan Medoxomil + Amlodipine | Dual Action Blood Pressure Control

Description

Baritec-A (20/5mg) Tablets combine two effective blood pressure medicines — Olmesartan Medoxomil (20mg) and Amlodipine (5mg) — that work together to control high blood pressure (hypertension).
Olmesartan lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, while Amlodipine widens arteries to improve blood flow.
This combination helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage, especially in patients whose blood pressure is not controlled by single-drug therapy.
