Uses / Indications:
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Preventing heart attacks and strokes
Lessening of cardiovascular stress and renal problems in people with high blood pressure
Pregnancy interaction:
It is not safe to take Amlopres Trio 40mg Tablet while pregnant.
Telmisartan, an ARB, can be very bad for a developing fetus, especially in the second and third trimesters. It could cause the kidneys of the fetus to fail, low amniotic fluid, developmental problems, or even death.
There isn't a lot of safety evidence on amlodipine during pregnancy, and hydrochlorothiazide may create an imbalance in electrolytes and less blood flow to the placenta.
This prescription should not be taken by women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
If you get pregnant while using Amlopres Trio 40mg, call your doctor right away.
Expert advice:
Take this tablet at the same time every day, preferably in the morning, because it helps keep your blood pressure constant all day.
Don't stop taking this prescription all of a sudden without talking to your doctor first. This could make your blood pressure go up all of a sudden.
Don't drink alcohol because it can make you more likely to feel dizzy or faint.
Drink plenty of water, but don't take too many potassium or salt supplements without talking to your doctor first.
While you're getting therapy, keep an eye on your blood pressure and renal function.
If you get muscle cramps, weakness, or an erratic heartbeat, you should tell your doctor. These could be signs of an electrolyte imbalance.
To avoid feeling lightheaded, get up carefully from a sitting or laying position.

How to use:
Take Amlopres Trio 40mg Tablet precisely as your doctor says to.
Do not crush or chew it; just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
You can take it with or without food, but you should always take it the same way.
Best taken in the morning to avoid having to go to the bathroom a lot at night (since it has a diuretic in it).
If you forget to take your dose, do so as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, don't take the one you missed. Do not take twice as much.
Keep taking it even if you feel fine—high blood pressure doesn't have any symptoms.
How it works:
Amlopres Trio 40mg Tablet lowers blood pressure by combining three antihypertensive drugs that act well together:
Calcium channel blocker amlodipine relaxes and expands blood vessels, which makes blood flow better and lowers the pressure on the heart.
Telmisartan (ARB) stops angiotensin II, a hormone that makes blood vessels tighter, so blood may flow more easily.
Hydrochlorothiazide (Diuretic): It helps the body get rid of extra salt and water through urine, which lowers blood volume and pressure.
Together, they work on diverse parts of the body to lower blood pressure better than taking just one or two drugs.
Faq for medicine:
Q1. Is it safe to take Amlopres Trio 40mg Tablet when pregnant?
No. Telmisartan is not safe to take during pregnancy because it could hurt the baby.
Q2. Is it okay to discontinue taking the prescription when my blood pressure is normal?
No. Keep taking it as directed. If you stop suddenly, your blood pressure may increase again, which raises the risk of heart problems.
Q3. Is it okay to drink alcohol while taking this pill?
Don't drink alcohol. It can make the effect of lowering blood pressure stronger and make you feel dizzy or faint.
Q4. What should I do if I forget to take a dose?
Take the dose you missed as soon as you can. If it's close to the next dose, don't take it. Don't ever take two pills at once.
Q5. Can Amlopres Trio 40mg make you pee more?
Yes. You might have to go to the bathroom more often because of Hydrochlorothiazide. This is a natural side effect of the drug.
Q6. When will I see results?
You might see your blood pressure get better after a few hours, but the full effects normally don't show up until 1–2 weeks of continuous use.
Q7. Is it safe for people with kidney problems?
Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide both influence how well the kidneys work, so use them with caution and under the guidance of a doctor.
Q8. Does taking Amlopres Trio 40mg make you dependent?
No. It doesn't make you want to do it again and again.
Medicine interaction:
Other antihypertensives may cause blood pressure to drop too low.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen and diclofenac, may make the blood pressure-lowering action less strong and damage kidney function.
ACE inhibitors or ARBs (if previously used) - risk of renal issues and too much potassium in the blood
Potassium supplements or salt substitutes can cause elevated potassium levels.
Diabetes drugs like insulin and metformin may change how well blood sugar is controlled.
Lithium - danger of lithium poisoning
Alcohol makes you feel dizzy and lowers your blood pressure.
Always let your doctor know about any other drugs or supplements you are taking.
