Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil 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 tablets is chemically described as 3-ethyl-5 methyl (±)-2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, monobenzenesulphonate. Its molecular 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 tablets is chemically described as 2,3 dihydroxy-2-butenyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-[ p-(o -1H-tetrazol-5-ylphenyl)benzyl]imidazole-5-carboxylate, cyclic 2,3-carbonate. Its molecular 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 tablets contain amlodipine besylate USP, a white or almost white powder, and olmesartan medoxomil USP, a 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 ethanol and slightly soluble in 2-propanol and in water. Olmesartan medoxomil is sparingly soluble in methanol and practically insoluble in water.
