      Drug Name Olmesartan Paraldehyde
      Mechanism 1 Antihypertensive agent
Angiotensin II receptor  Antagonist
Antihypertensive agent
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Angiotensin II receptor Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
Receptor for angiotensin II. Mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.; (Microbial infection) During SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is able to recognize and internalize the complex formed by secreted ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein through DNM2/dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis.

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Avoid alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.
