Ocemoca is classified as a cardiovascular drug, used to treat primary hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not controlled with monotherapy. The main ingredient of Ocemoca is Perindopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
Ocemoca drug is produced in the form of dispersible tablets, packed in blisters of 10 tablets, the content in 1 Ocemoca tablet includes:
Perindopril in the form of Perindopril tert-butylamine 4mg. Indapamide 1.25mg

Perindopril is an inhibitor of the enzyme that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II in plasma, causing vasoconstriction. In hypertensive patients, Ocemoca lowers blood pressure by reducing systemic peripheral resistance and dilating both arteries and veins.
The indapamide component in Ocemoca is a sulfonamide with diuretic and antihypertensive effects. Inpadamid in Ocemoca has the function of reabsorption of sodium + in the kidneys, increasing the excretion of sodium and chloride, leading to increased diuresis. In addition, Indapamide helps blood vessels to respond to amines vasoconstriction well, returning blood vessels to normal state, reducing peripheral small artery resistance.
Ocemoca drug is well absorbed orally, extensively metabolized in the liver and eliminated mainly in the urine.

Ocemoca is used in the treatment of primary hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not controlled with monotherapy.

Dosage in hypertensive users: 1 Ocemoca tablet/time/day Dosage in renal failure: For patients with creatinine clearance > 60ml/min: Dose adjustment is not required. For patients with creatinine clearance between 30-60ml/min: Initiate with the recommended dose of 2mg/day (equivalent to half a tablet of Ocemoca, but not recommended for patients to break in half), should find another suitable dosage form. with dose.
