Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet 15's

Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet is used for the effective management of hypertension (high blood pressure). The detailed uses of Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet include:

• Control of blood pressure: Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet helps in lowering high blood pressure and maintaining it within a normal range.
• Combination therapy benefit: The three ingredients work together to provide better blood pressure control than individual components.
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk: By managing hypertension, Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet helps lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related complications.
• Improved blood vessel function and fluid balance: It helps relax blood vessels, reduce water retention, and improve overall blood circulation.

Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet is composed of three medicines: Telmisartan, Cilnidipine and  Hydrochlorothiazide, prescribed to treat hypertension. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of certain substances that are responsible for tightening the blood vessels. It allows the blood to flow more smoothly and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Cilnidipine blocks the activities of the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. As a result, the blood vessels widen, and supply to the heart increases, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the workload placed on the heart.  Thus, it reduces the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic pill that works by making a person urinate more. In this way, this drug helps to get rid of excess salt and water from the body and prevents the risk of heart failure and kidney or liver disease.
