About TRILOSACAR TABLET

TRILOSACAR TABLET is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and oedema (a buildup of fluid in the body). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the blood vessel (artery wall) increases. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. Oedema may occur in high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs, leading to swelling.

TRILOSACAR TABLET contains Chlorothiazide, Losartan and Amlodipine. Chlorothiazide is a diuretic that works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats Edema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, and Losartan is an angiotensin receptor antagonist. Both work by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. This, in turn, reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. So, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

Take TRILOSACAR TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical conditions, you are advised to take TRILOSACAR TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. You may experience glucose intolerance (low or high level of glucose), ankle swelling, sleepiness, headache (sense of heat in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), flushing, tiredness, nausea, decreased potassium level in the blood, Increased blood uric acid and altered blood lipid level. Most of these side effects of TRILOSACAR TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Tell your doctor about this, as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and increase the risk of heart complications like stroke and heart disease. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, heart disease, or diabetes. Taking TRILOSACAR TABLET during pregnancy may cause side effects like jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), unexplained bleeding, low blood sugar or an electrolyte imbalance in the newborn baby. Do not use the TRILOSACAR TABLET if you cannot urinate, have low blood pressure (hypotension), and have a cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping blood flow to the heart). Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling.
