About Telvok Trio 20mg Tablet

TELMISARTAN+AMLODIPINE+CHLORTHALIDONE belongs to the anti-hypertensive drugs class, primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. It is considered an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. 

TELMISARTAN+AMLODIPINE+CHLORTHALIDONE consists of three anti-hypertensive medicines, namely: Amlodipine, Chlorthalidone, and Telmisartan. Amlodipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers. It is a vasodilator that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. It inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells, thus preventing their contraction. This process helps in the vasodilation (widening) of the heart’s blood vessels and reduces peripheral vascular resistance (constriction of blood vessels that leads to high blood pressure). Reduced peripheral vascular resistance improves the blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue. Chlorthalidone belongs to the class of diuretics (water pill) with antihypertensive activity. It inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption from absorbing excess salts that cause fluid retention or build-up. Chlorthalidone lowers blood pressure by decreasing the amount of blood the heart pumps (cardiac output) and reducing plasma and extracellular fluid volume (body fluids outside the cells). Telmisartan belongs to a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (angiotensin is a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure). It lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels.

Medicinal Benefits of Telvok Trio 20mg Tablet

TELMISARTAN+AMLODIPINE+CHLORTHALIDONE is an anti-hypertensive drug that treats high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Amlodipine, Chlorthalidone, and Telmisartan. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. It is used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic (water pill). It prevents the body from absorbing excess salts that cause fluid retention or build-up. It effectively treats high blood pressure, fluid retention in patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis (chronic damage) of the liver, kidney disorders, or edema caused by steroids or estrogen therapy. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (angiotensin is a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure). It lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels. It reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, or death from heart problems.
