Description
Winbp-Trio 20 Tablet is a triple-combination antihypertensive medicine used for the effective management of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines three active ingredients:
-
Olmesartan Medoxomil – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers pressure.
-
Amlodipine – a calcium channel blocker that widens blood vessels and improves blood flow.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide – a thiazide diuretic that reduces excess salt and water in the body, lowering fluid overload and blood pressure.
This synergistic action helps control blood pressure more effectively in patients who do not achieve adequate results with single or dual therapy.
Uses
-
Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure without a known cause).
-
Reduces risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney damage, and other complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
How it Works
-
Olmesartan Medoxomil blocks angiotensin II, preventing blood vessel constriction.
-
Amlodipine relaxes smooth muscles of blood vessels, improving circulation.
