Olkem Trio 40 Tablet comprises three active ingredients:

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): As a diuretic, chlorthalidone works by increasing the elimination of salt and water from your body. This action reduces the volume of blood in your body, consequently lowering your blood pressure.

• Cilnidipine (10 mg): Classified as a calcium channel blocker, cilnidipine works by slowing down the movement of calcium into certain cells in your heart and blood vessels. This action aids in relaxing blood vessels, reducing resistance to blood flow, which ultimately lowers blood pressure.

• Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 mg): It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels, reducing resistance and helping to lower blood pressure.

• Store Olkem Trio 40 Tablet in a cool, dry place, where the temperature stays between 15°C and 25°C.

• Keep it safe from light exposure.

• It's essential not to store this medication in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink to avoid dampness.
