About TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET

TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET belongs to a class of medicines called antihypertensives used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults. Hypertension is a condition in which the force of blood against the walls of the artery is very high. It will be an addition to the workload of the heart and arteries.

TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET is a combination of three drugs, namely: Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker), Chlorthalidone (diuretic), and Olmesartan medoxomil (angiotensin II receptor blocker). Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by acting on muscle cells in the artery walls and relaxes muscle cells. Thereby, it relaxes and widens arteries (blood vessels) and improves the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. Chlorthalidone belongs to the class of diuretics (water tablets) that works by increasing the removal of excess water and certain salts such as sodium and potassium from the blood. This removal of water from blood reduces the fluid volume circulating through blood vessels and improves blood flow. Olmesartan medoxomil works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II in the body that causes the narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET widens and relaxes blood vessels. Thus, it lowers high blood pressure.

Take TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, headache, swelling of ankles, feet, hands, arms, or legs, low or high blood pressure, stomach upset, or tiredness. Most of these side effects of TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid taking TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET and consult a doctor. Drive only if you are alert as TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET may cause dizziness or drowsiness. You are recommended to avoid alcohol consumption with TRIOLSAR HS 40MG TABLET as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that the heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Normal blood pressure lies in between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg. If the blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater, it is considered high blood pressure.
