Cortel Trio Tablet is composed of three active ingredients, each contributing uniquely to managing hypertension:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This is a calcium channel blocker which essentially halts the movement of calcium into the cells of your heart and blood vessels. This action relaxes and widens your blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure.

• Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): It's a diuretic or 'water pill' that aids your kidneys in getting rid of excess water and salt from your body through urine. This process reduces the volume of blood that needs to be pumped, thus lowering blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (40 mg): This angiotensin II receptor blocker hinders the hormone angiotensin II from constricting your blood vessels. As a result, your blood vessels expand and allow better flow of blood, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.
