About Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's

Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's helps lower the blood pressure, thereby reduces the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
 
Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs, namely: Cilnidipine, Chlorthalidone, and Metoprolol succinate. Cilnidipine acts on the calcium channels of the blood vessels and suppresses the contraction of blood vessels, thereby helps blood flow smoothly. Chlorthalidone lowers the blood pressure and swelling by removing excess fluid and electrolytes via urine. It also helps relax blood vessels and improves blood flow. Metoprolol succinate slows down the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Thereby, Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's helps treat hypertension.
 
You are advised to take Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, and weakness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Limited information is available regarding the usage of Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's in children; please consult a doctor if you have any concerns. Twinblok Trio Tablet 10's may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. 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 the blood supply to the heart is blocked). High blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
