Abstract
The article presents a review of studies on the use of olmesartan medoxomil in hypertension. Most studies have shown that olmesartan medoxomil provides effective blood pressure control in patients with hypertension with a different cardiovascular risk profile with good tolerability. It was noted that olmesartan medoxomil has pleiotropic effects: vasoprotective, cardioprotective, nephroprotective, cerebroprotective, antiatherogenic, anti-inflammatory. The role of olmesartan medoxomil in the prevention (reduction of risk) of cognitive impairment or dementia has been established.
