TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S

How TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S Works

• TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S is a combination medication designed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) effectively. It combines the actions of three different antihypertensive drugs to provide comprehensive blood pressure control. These three drugs are Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Chlorthalidone. Understanding how each component works is crucial to appreciating the overall effectiveness of TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S.
• Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure. Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II. It binds to the angiotensin II receptors, preventing the hormone from attaching and causing vasoconstriction. As a result, blood vessels relax and widen, reducing blood pressure. This mechanism also helps to protect the kidneys and heart from damage caused by high blood pressure.
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by preventing calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. Calcium is essential for muscle contraction, so by blocking its entry, amlodipine relaxes and widens the blood vessels. This reduces the resistance against which the heart has to pump, thereby lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine primarily affects the arteries, making it effective at reducing systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading).
• Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic, often referred to as a 'water pill.' It works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the body through the kidneys. This reduces the volume of blood circulating in the body, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Chlorthalidone also has a mild vasodilatory effect, further contributing to its blood pressure-lowering abilities. Diuretics like chlorthalidone are particularly effective at reducing diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number in a blood pressure reading).
• In summary, TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S lowers blood pressure through three complementary mechanisms: Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking calcium entry, and Chlorthalidone reduces blood volume by increasing sodium and water excretion. By addressing blood pressure through these multiple pathways, TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S provides a more effective and comprehensive approach to managing hypertension than any single drug could alone. It's important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S may cause several side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly (orthostatic hypotension), fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cough. Some patients may experience electrolyte imbalances (like low potassium), muscle cramps, increased uric acid levels (potentially leading to gout), and changes in kidney function. Less common but potentially serious side effects include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), heart rhythm disturbances, and liver problems. In rare cases, it can cause angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat) which requires immediate medical attention. Changes in blood cell counts (like decreased white blood cells or platelets) are also possible. This is not an exhaustive list, and you should consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information and report any unusual symptoms.

• If you miss a dose of TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep TELPLUS TRIO TAB 1X15 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store TELPLUS TRIO TAB 1X15 at room temperature.

• TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S can be taken with or without food. However, it is important to take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of medication in your body. Avoid consuming high amounts of potassium-rich foods like bananas, oranges, and green leafy vegetables while taking this medication, unless specifically directed by your doctor, as it could potentially lead to hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood).
• Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with amlodipine, one of the medications in TELPLUS TRIO TABLET 15'S, potentially increasing the levels of the drug in your body. This could lead to an increased risk of side effects. It's best to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
