Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet

Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet is a prescription combination blood pressure medicine that contains olmesartan medoxomil 20 mg, amlodipine 20 mg, and hydrochlorothiazide as labeled in each tablet. It combines an angiotensin II receptor blocker, a calcium channel blocker, and a diuretic to help lower high blood pressure. Doctors prescribe Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet when one medicine alone is not enough to control hypertension, and lowering blood pressure can reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

How it works: Olmesartan medoxomil helps relax blood vessels by blocking a hormone that tightens them, amlodipine helps keep blood vessels from narrowing, and hydrochlorothiazide helps the body remove extra salt and water. Together in Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet, these medicines lower pressure inside the blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump.

Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet is a higher-strength triple combination tablet, so it is not meant for people just starting blood pressure treatment. A doctor may choose this strength when a patient needs a more intensive, once-daily combination to get better blood pressure control than lower strengths or single medicines can provide. It may be used when the doctor wants to simplify treatment into one tablet instead of taking separate pills.

• Treatment of high blood pressure
• Long-term blood pressure control
• May reduce risk of stroke and heart attack
• May be used when single-drug therapy is not enough

• Take Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet by mouth with water, exactly as prescribed.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor tells you to.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Because hydrochlorothiazide can increase urination, many patients prefer taking it earlier in the day.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when starting treatment or after a dose change.

Tri-Olmetor 20 Tablet provides olmesartan medoxomil 20 mg, amlodipine 20 mg, and hydrochlorothiazide as labeled per tablet. This is a stronger combination tablet, so the dose and how often you take it are decided by your doctor based on your blood pressure response and other medicines. Do not take more than prescribed; in general, it is taken once daily, and the maximum daily amount is one tablet unless your prescriber specifically instructs otherwise.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
