Telpres Trio Tablet

Introduction

Telpres Trio Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of stroke or heart disease. The tablet combines three active ingredients: Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide. Each component works together to lower blood pressure effectively. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, and Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, providing comprehensive control over blood pressure levels and improving cardiovascular health.

Uses of Telpres Trio Tablet

Telpres Trio Tablet is used for:

• Managing high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease
• Improving heart health in patients with certain cardiovascular conditions

How Telpres Trio Tablet Works

Telpres Trio Tablet works through the combined actions of its three ingredients. Telmisartan blocks the effects of a hormone that constricts blood vessels, helping to relax and widen them. Amlodipine prevents calcium from entering smooth muscle cells, further aiding in blood vessel relaxation. Hydrochlorothiazide, as a diuretic, helps eliminate excess salt and water, reducing fluid buildup and lowering blood pressure. Together, these ingredients effectively manage hypertension and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
