How Belsar 10 works
Belsar 10 is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes the blood vessel by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.

If you miss a dose of Belsar 10, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Hepatic impairment: Moderate: Initial: 10 mg once daily may increase up to max 20 mg once daily.

Hypertension
Child: 6-16 yr 35 kg: 20 mg once daily. Doses may be doubled once if necessary after 2 wk. dosage range: 20-40 mg/day
Renal Dose
Renal impairment: Mild to moderate (CrCl: 20-60 mL/min): Max: 20 mg once daily.
Contraindication
Pregnancy (2nd and 3rd trimesters); biliary obstruction.
Mode of Action
Olmesartan is a selective and competitive angiotensin II Type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist that blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. As a result, olmesartan relaxes blood vessels, hence lowering BP and increases blood supply and oxygen to the heart.
Precaution
Drugs that act on renin-angiotensin system can cause fetal injury and death when used in 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. Olmesartan medoxomil should be discontinued as soon as possible once pregnancy is detected. Symptomatic hypotension may occur in patients who are volume- and/or salt-depleted. May be associated with oliguria, progressive azotaemia, and acute renal failure (rare). Patients with bilateral or unilateral renal artery stenosis may have increased risk of severe hypotension and renal insufficiency. Caution in renal impairment; monitor serum creatinine and potassium levels periodically. Avoid use in severe renal impairment (CrCl< 20 mL/min) and severe hepatic impairment. Caution...
