Orbapin 5/40 mg is a combination antihypertensive medication produced by ACME Laboratories Ltd., designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two active ingredients:
Amlodipine (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
This combination effectively lowers blood pressure, reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks. It is typically prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with lower doses of these medications. The usual starting dose is one tablet daily, which may be increased based on the patient's response.
