Olkem Trio 12.5 Tablet contains three active ingredients working together to lower blood pressure:

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This ingredient is a diuretic which increases the amount of sodium, chloride and water that your kidneys remove from your body. This reduction in fluid volume and cardiac output helps lower blood pressure.

• Cilnidipine (10 mg): Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that prevents calcium from entering vascular smooth muscle cells in your body. This action causes these cells to relax, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and thereby lowering arterial blood pressure.

• Olmesartan Medoxomil (20 mg): As an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, olmesartan medoxomil works by blocking angiotensin II from binding to receptors in vascular smooth muscle. This inhibition results in a decrease in vascular resistance and overall blood pressure.

Through these combined mechanisms of action, Olkem Trio 12.5 Tablet effectively manages high blood pressure.
