Uses and Administration of Olmesartan in Kenya

Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with actions similar to those of losartan. It is used in the management of hypertension in Kenya. Olmesartan is given by mouth as the ester prodrug olmesartan medoxomil. After an oral dose the hypotensive effect lasts for 24 hours. Most of the hypotensive effect is apparent within 2 weeks after initiating therapy and is maximal within about 8 weeks. In hypertension, olmesartan medoxomil is given in a usual dose of 20 mg once daily, although in the UK an initial dose of 10 mg once daily is recommended. The dose may be increased to 40 mg once daily if required. In Kenya, a maximum dose of 20 mg once daily is recommended for elderly patients and patients with renal impairment
