Cetanil Trio 12.5 Tablet 10

Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet is used for controlling essential hypertension in adults, managing high blood pressure when monotherapy is ineffective, and reducing peripheral swelling associated with calcium channel blockers.

Uses of Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet are:

• Essential Hypertension: Controls high blood pressure in adults, especially when a single medicine is not enough.
• Combination Therapy: Manages blood pressure through three complementary mechanisms.

Here are some simple steps to follow while taking Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.

• This medicine can be taken with or without food.

• For best results, take the medicine at the same time each day.

• Do not take more than the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.

• It's important not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet is taken orally.

Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet works through three active ingredients:

• Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This diuretic acts on your kidneys and increases the removal of sodium and water from your body. This results in decreased fluid volume outside your cells, leading to reduced cardiac output and lower blood pressure.

• Cilnidipine (10 mg): As a calcium channel blocker, cilnidipine inhibits the movement of calcium ions into certain cells in your body. This causes relaxation and widening of your blood vessels, resulting in decreased resistance to blood flow and lowered blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (40 mg): This angiotensin II receptor blocker selectively prevents angiotensin II from binding to specific receptors in your body. This leads to the widening of your blood vessels, reduced resistance to blood flow, and decreased secretion of aldosterone—a hormone that can raise blood pressure—all contributing to a reduction in blood pressure.

• Store Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat.

• Maintain an optimal temperature between 15-30°C.

• Keep the container tightly closed to prevent exposure to moisture.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Make sure you use the medication before its expiry date, as marked on the package.

• Limit your salt intake: Too much salt can increase blood pressure, so it's important to keep your sodium consumption low when managing hypertension with Cetanil-Trio 12.5 Tablet.

• Engage in regular physical activity: Regular exercise can help lower your blood pressure and make your heart stronger. Try to engage in moderate physical activity like brisk walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes most days of the week.
