How It Works

Selective angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors, leading to vasodilation and reduced aldosterone secretion.

Mechanism Steps

1Olmesartan medoxomil is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to active olmesartan during absorption.

2Olmesartan selectively binds to the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor on vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland.

3Blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II.
