Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets provided as a tablet for oral administration, is a combination of the calcium channel blocker (CCB) amlodipine besylate and the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) olmesartan medoxomil. The amlodipine besylate component of amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablet is chemically described as 3-ethyl-5-methyl (±)-2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl- 3,5pyridinedicarboxylate, monobenzenesulphonate. Its empirical formula is C 20 H 25 ClN 2 O 5 •C 6 H 6 O 3 S. Olmesartan medoxomil, a prodrug, is hydrolyzed to olmesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The olmesartan medoxomil component of amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablet is chemically described as 2,3dihydroxy-2-butenyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-[ p- ( o- 1 H -tetrazol-5-ylphenyl)benzyl]imidazole-5-carboxylate, cyclic 2,3-carbonate. Its empirical formula is C 29 H 30 N 6 O 6 . The structural formula for amlodipine besylate is: The structural formula for olmesartan medoxomil is Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablet contains amlodipine besylate, a white or almost white powder, and olmesartan medoxomil, white to off-white, crystalline powder. The molecular weights of amlodipine besylate and olmesartan medoxomil are 567.1 and 558.59, respectively. Amlodipine besylate is freely soluble in methanol, sparingly soluble in alcohol, slightly soluble in 2-propanol and in water. Olmesartan medoxomil is sparingly soluble in methanol, practically insoluble in water. Each amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablet also contains the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and colloidal silicon dioxide. The color coatings contain polyvinyl alcohol, macrogol/ polyethylene glycol 3350, titanium dioxide, talc, iron oxide yellow (5/40 mg, 10/20 mg, 10/40 mg tablets), iron oxide red (5/40 mg, 10/20 mg and 10/40 mg tablets), and iron oxide black (5/40 mg, 10/20 mg and 10/40 mg tablets). amlodipine besylate olmesartan medoxomil
