Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER is a combination medication primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a common yet serious condition that can lead to various complications, including heart attacks, strokes, kidney problems, and more, if left untreated. Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER combines three active ingredients—Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone, and Amlodipine. This blend offers a multifaceted approach to blood pressure control, targeting different pathways in the body to lower blood pressure more effectively.

• Telmisartan: Belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Telmisartan inhibits the actions of a hormone called angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to tighten. This relaxation of the blood vessels lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.
• Chlorthalidone: A diuretic or “water pill” that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water through urine. Reducing fluid in the blood vessels contributes to lowering blood pressure.
• Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries. This helps to decrease blood pressure and improve blood flow.

By combining these three ingredients, Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER provides a comprehensive solution for managing high blood pressure, especially for individuals who require more than one medication to achieve optimal control.

USES OF ARBITEL-TRIO 25 TABLET ER

Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER is prescribed to patients for the following conditions:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): The primary use of Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER is to lower blood pressure in individuals diagnosed with hypertension. Effective blood pressure management is crucial to preventing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. It is particularly useful in patients who have not responded adequately to single-drug therapy or require a combination approach for better blood pressure control.

BENEFITS OF ARBITEL-TRIO 25 TABLET ER

• Comprehensive Blood Pressure Control: The combination of Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone, and Amlodipine provides a multifaceted approach to blood pressure management. While Telmisartan reduces vascular resistance, Chlorthalidone decreases fluid volume, and Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, leading to more effective blood pressure reduction.
• Reduced Cardiovascular Complications: Proper blood pressure control is essential to reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER offers long-term benefits in terms of cardiovascular protection.
• Once-Daily Dosage: The extended-release formulation of Arbitel-Trio 25 ensures that the medication is released gradually throughout the day, providing sustained control of blood pressure without the need for multiple doses.
• Kidney Protection: By controlling blood pressure, Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER also helps protect the kidneys from damage caused by hypertension, reducing the risk of kidney disease in patients with long-standing high blood pressure.

SIDE EFFECTS OF ARBITEL-TRIO 25 TABLET ER

Like any medication, Arbitel-Trio 25 Tablet ER can cause side effects in some individuals. It is essential to understand these potential side effects and consult a healthcare provider if any unusual symptoms occur.

• Common Side Effects:
  • Dizziness or Light-headedness: Due to its blood pressure-lowering effects, some people may experience dizziness, especially when standing up too quickly.
  • Swelling of the Ankles or Feet: This can occur due to Amlodipine’s vasodilatory effects, which may lead to fluid retention in some cases.
  • Increased Urination: As Chlorthalidone is a diuretic, frequent urination is common, especially at the beginning of treatment.
  • Fatigue: Feeling tired or weak is a common side effect, especially in the early stages of treatment.
• Serious Side Effects (Rare):
  • Severe Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience symptoms like rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms occur, immediate medical attention is required.
  • Severe Dizziness or Fainting: This can indicate excessive blood pressure reduction or dehydration.
  • Electrolyte Imbalance: Due to the diuretic effect of Chlorthalidone, there may be a risk of losing important electrolytes like potassium, sodium, or magnesium. Symptoms include muscle cramps, weakness, or irregular heartbeat.
  • Kidney or Liver Problems: Though rare, some individuals may experience abnormal kidney or liver function. Monitoring via blood tests may be necessary.
