Description
Product Overview:
TrioPress™ is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Telmisartan 80mg, Amlodipine 5mg, and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg, designed for the effective treatment of essential hypertension in adults. This combination targets three different mechanisms of blood pressure elevation, providing superior control for patients not adequately managed on dual therapy.
Components and Their Actions:
-
Telmisartan (80mg) – An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by preventing angiotensin II from binding to its receptors. This reduces vascular resistance and supports kidney and heart health, especially in patients with diabetes or kidney disease.
-
Amlodipine (5mg) – A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that dilates peripheral blood vessels by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions. It effectively lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow, with long-lasting action and minimal impact on heart rate.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg) – A thiazide diuretic that reduces blood volume by promoting sodium and water excretion. It complements the antihypertensive effect of Telmisartan and Amlodipine and is effective in controlling volume-dependent hypertension.
This triple therapy provides synergistic blood pressure reduction and is particularly effective in patients with resistant or stage 2 hypertension.
How to Use:
-
Dosage: One tablet to be taken once daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
-
Administration: Take the tablet at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
-
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.
Regular monitoring of blood pressure and electrolytes is recommended for best results.
Possible Side Effects:
Like all medications, TrioPress™ may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.
Common Side Effects:
-
Dizziness or lightheadedness

Swelling of the ankles (due to Amlodipine)
-
Headache or fatigue

Muscle cramps or weakness (from electrolyte loss)
Serious But Rare Side Effects:
-
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
-
Electrolyte imbalance (low potassium or sodium)
-
Irregular heartbeat
-
Allergic skin reactions
-
Kidney function impairment (especially in dehydrated patients)
If you experience symptoms like fainting, severe dizziness, chest pain, or signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty), seek immediate medical attention.

Summary:
TrioPress™ provides a powerful, once-daily triple-action formula for the management of high blood pressure.

It’s an ideal solution for those needing more than dual therapy to achieve blood pressure targets.
