“…It has been reported that olmesartan has a dual clearance pathway, with B60% of a dose being excreted into feces via bile and the remaining 40% being excreted into the urine, 1,2 and that multiple transporters in multiple tissues were involved in the overall pharmacokinetics of olmesartan. 3 Therefore, the effect of genetic variations of single transporters on the pharmacokinetics of olmesartan is considered to be small.…”

“…Olmesartan is excreted into both bile and urine without undergoing metabolism. 1 Some studies have suggested that organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (gene name, SLCO1B1) and organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B3 (SLCO1B3) are involved in hepatic uptake and that the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family C member 2 (multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 2, ABCC2), is involved in the biliary excretion of olmesartan. 2,3 Membrane transporters have important roles in the uptake, distribution and excretion of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics.…”

“…The medoxomil ester of olmesartan was developed in preference to the active compound olmesartan, because the oral bioavailability of the latter is low (4.5%) and is increased (to 28.6%) 3 by esterification with the medoxomil moiety. Following oral administration of olmesartan medoxomil in humans and animals, the intact parent ester has not been observed in measurable amounts in plasma or excreta.…”

“…Peak plasma concentrations of OLM occurred 1-3 h after administration, after which concentrations decreased quickly. The elimination half-life was 10-15 h. Bioavailability increased proportionally with dose, after single and multiple daily oral doses, over the therapeutic dose range, up to 40-80 mg daily [6].…”
