• Olmesartan medoxomil belongs to a class of drugs called ARBs (Angiotensin Receptor Blockers). The medication works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a naturally occurring hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict and raises blood pressure
   
• When angiotensin II binds to receptors in the blood vessels makes them narrow, which increases the resistance to blood flow and raises blood pressure. Olmesartan medoxomil prevents angiotensin II from binding to the receptors and causing the blood vessels to constrict. As a result, the blood vessels relax, and the resistance to blood flow decreases, which lowers blood pressure
   
• Also, it increases the release of a substance called nitric oxide, which helps to relax the blood vessels further, contributing to low blood pressure
