Pregnancy Interaction

• Tetan Trio Tablet , an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as it may induce fetal renal impairment, oligohydramnios, cranial malformations, and perhaps fetal demise.
• Hydrochlorothiazide can lower the amount of blood in the mother and the flow of blood to the placenta, which could hurt the baby.
• There isn't much information about amlodipine in humans, so it should be avoided unless absolutely required.
• In general, this combination is not safe to use while pregnant, and if you get pregnant, you should cease using it right once.
• It is also not safe to use when breastfeeding because the ingredients could get into the breast milk and harm the baby.

Faq For Medicine

Q1. What is this mix used for?

When single or dual-drug therapy (such Telmisartan + Amlodipine) doesn't work well enough, it might be used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Q2: Is it safe for pregnant women to use this medicine?

No, it is not safe to take during pregnancy, so you should switch to a safer option, such as labetalol or methyldopa.

Q3. When should I take it?

People usually take it once a day in the morning since Hydrochlorothiazide makes you pee more.

Q4. How long does it take to work?

It takes 1 to 2 weeks for blood pressure to start to become better, and 4 to 6 weeks for the complete effect to be felt.

Q5. Is it okay to drink beer while taking it?

Stay away from alcohol because it can make you feel dizzy or faint by lowering your blood pressure.

Q6. Can I discontinue once my blood pressure goes back to normal?

No. Stopping suddenly can trigger rebound hypertension, which is when your blood pressure goes back up.

Q7. What happens if I forget a dose?

Take it as soon as you remember; if it's almost time for your next dose, skip it. Don't take twice as much.

Expert Advice

• Take the drug at the same time every day, ideally in the morning.
• Don't stop suddenly without talking to your doctor beforehand.
• Check your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes on a regular basis.
• Don't use potassium supplements or salt alternatives because Telmisartan can raise potassium levels.
• Drink enough water, but don't drink too much.
• Don't eat too much salt, and stay away from processed or fried meals.
• To avoid getting dizzy, get up slowly from a sitting or reclining position.
• Tell your doctor if your ankles swell, you have a cough that won't go away, or your muscles cramp.

Side Effects

• Some common side effects are:
• Feeling dizzy or light-headed
• Amlodipine can make your feet or ankles swell.
• Pain in the head
• Being fatigued or worn out
• More frequent urination (because of Hydrochlorothiazide)
• Less common yet dangerous adverse effects:
• Low blood pressure (hypotension)
• An imbalance of electrolytes (low sodium and variations in potassium)
• Muscle cramps or weakness
• Changes in how the kidneys work
• Allergic symptoms, such a rash or swelling of the face or throat
• Heartbeats that are not regular or fainting
• If you feel very dizzy, swollen, or have trouble breathing, you should see a doctor very once.

 How It Works

• Telmisartan (ARB) stops angiotensin II receptors from working, which stops blood vessels from tightening and helps them relax and widen. This decreases blood pressure.
• Amlodipine (Calcium Channel Blocker) makes the smooth muscles in blood vessels relax, which makes blood flow better and makes the heart work less.
• Hydrochlorothiazide (Thiazide Diuretic) helps the kidneys get rid of extra salt and water, which lowers blood volume and pressure.
• These three drugs operate together to lower blood pressure in three different ways: by relaxing blood vessels, reducing blood volume, and lowering the stress on the heart.

Medicine Interaction

• Stay away from or be careful with:
• Potassium supplements and potassium-sparing diuretics (such spironolactone) can cause hyperkalemia.
• NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may make the drug less effective and hurt the kidneys.
• Other antihypertensives may drop blood pressure too much.
• Lithium – raises the chance of lithium poisoning.
• Antidiabetic medicines may change the amounts of sugar in the blood.
• Corticosteroids or laxatives may make an electrolyte imbalance worse.
• Alcohol or sedatives can make you feel more dizzy or sleepy.
• Before commencing therapy, always tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you are taking.

 How to Use

• Take one pill every day, or as your doctor tells you to.
• Do not crush or chew; just swallow it whole with water.
• You can take it with or without food, but it's best to do it in the morning.
• If you forget to take a dose, take it when you recall. If the next dose is coming up soon, skip the missed dose.
• Keep going even if you feel well; high blood pressure normally doesn't have any symptoms.
• Check your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes on a regular basis if you use this drug for a long time.

 Uses / Indications

• Essential (primary) hypertension— to effectively lower high blood pressure.
• Resistant hypertension occurs when dual therapy doesn't work to regulate blood pressure.
• Protects the heart and blood vessels by lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.
• Protects the kidneys by helping those with high blood pressure or diabetes keep their kidneys working.
