Sartel Trio Tablet 10

Sartel Trio Tablet is used in the long-term control of high blood pressure in adults who need three medicines together, usually as a replacement for the same medicines taken separately.

Uses of Sartel Trio Tablet 10 are:

• Hypertension: Combines three blood-pressure-lowering medicines for stronger control when simpler treatments have not been enough.
• Complication Risk Reduction: Helps lower the risk of stroke, heart failure and kidney damage linked to poorly controlled blood pressure.

Here's how you should take Sartel Trio Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing it.

• It is advisable to take this medicine at the same time each day for optimal blood pressure control.

• Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.

• It's crucial not to stop taking this medicine without discussing it with your doctor first.

Sartel Trio Tablet is taken orally.

Sartel Trio Tablet is composed of three active ingredients:

• Telmisartan (40 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks angiotensin II from binding to certain receptors in tissues like vascular smooth muscle and adrenal glands. By doing so, it aids in expanding blood vessels, reducing vasopressin secretion, and decreasing aldosterone production, all of which lead to a reduction in blood pressure.

• Cilnidipine (10 mg): Cilnidipine is a dual L-/N-type calcium channel blocker (CCB). It prevents calcium ions from entering vascular smooth muscle cells and neurons. This blocking activity leads to the widening of blood vessels and reduction in peripheral vascular resistance, thereby bringing down blood pressure. Additionally, it inhibits norepinephrine release from sympathetic nerve endings which further lowers blood pressure.

• Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg): Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic. It acts on a part of the kidney called the distal convoluted tubule by reducing sodium and chloride absorption. This leads to increased water and electrolyte excretion, including sodium, potassium and magnesium. As a result, it lowers overall body sodium content and blood volume which in turn decreases cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. This ultimately results in reduced blood pressure.

• Store Sartel Trio Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine away from direct light and moisture.

• Always ensure it is kept out of reach of children.

• Make sure to use the medicine before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Limit your salt intake: Reducing dietary sodium can help manage high blood pressure, which Sartel Trio Tablet is prescribed for.

• Regular physical activity: Regular exercise such as walking, cycling or swimming can help lower your blood pressure. It's recommended that you check with your doctor before starting any new exercise programme.
