Each 40/10/12.5 mg tablet contains 40 mg of olmesartan medoxomil, 10 mg of amlodipine besylate and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide. Each 40/10/25 mg tablet contains 40 mg of olmesartan medoxomil, 10 mg of amlodipine besylate and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide. Each tablet of olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine besylate and hydrochlorothiazide also contains the following inactive ingredients: silicified microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate. The color coating for 20 /5 /12.5 mg, 40 /5 /25 mg tablets contains titanium dioxide, hypromellose, polyethylene glycol and polysorbate, the color coating for 40/10/25 mg and 40/5/12.5 mg tablets contains polyvinyl alcohol - part dehydrolyzed, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc and iron oxide red and the color coating for 40 /10 /12.5 mg tablets polyvinyl alcohol - part dehydrolyzed, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc iron oxide yellow and FD&C #6.

Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension, alone or with other antihypertensive agents, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular (CV) events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including the class to which this drug principally belongs. There are no controlled trials demonstrating risk reduction with olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide tablets. Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. For specific advice on goals and management, see published guidelines, such as those of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program’s Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC). Numerous antihypertensive drugs, from a variety of pharmacologic classes and with different mechanisms of action, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and it can be concluded that it is blood pressure reduction, and not some other pharmacologic property of the drugs, that is largely responsible for those benefits. The largest and most consistent cardiovascular outcome benefit has been a reduction in the risk of stroke, but reductions in myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality also have been seen regularly. Elevated systolic or diastolic pressure causes increased cardiovascular risk, and the absolute risk increase per mmHg is greater at higher blood pressures, so that even modest reductions of severe hypertension can provide substantial benefit. Relative risk reduction from blood pressure reduction is similar across populations with varying absolute risk, so the absolute benefit is greater in patients who are at higher risk independent of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia), and such patients would be expected to benefit from more aggressive treatment to a lower blood pressure goal. Some antihypertensive drugs have smaller blood pressure effects (as monotherapy) in black patients, and many antihypertensive drugs have additional approved indications and effects (e.g., on angina, heart failure, or diabetic kidney disease). These considerations may guide selection of therapy. Limitations of Use This fixed combination drug is not indicated for the initial therapy of hypertension. Olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide tablets is a combination of olmesartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. Limitations of Use Olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are not indicated for initial therapy.
