Tripin OM Tablet

Tripin OM Tablet is a prescription blood pressure medicine that combines olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine, and hydrochlorothiazide in one tablet. This triple-combination tablet belongs to the ARB, calcium channel blocker, and thiazide diuretic drug classes, and it is used to help lower high blood pressure (hypertension). By combining three medicines in a single Tripin OM Tablet, it can be used when one or two medicines are not enough to control blood pressure. It is made by Lupin Ltd. and supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Tripin OM Tablet lowers blood pressure in three different ways: olmesartan relaxes blood vessels, amlodipine helps keep blood vessels from tightening, and hydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of extra salt and water. Together in one tablet, these actions reduce the pressure inside blood vessels and help the heart work less hard.

Tripin OM Tablet is the standard labeled tablet in this product line, while Tripin OM 40 Tablet is the higher-strength sibling form. That means this tablet is chosen when a doctor wants the specific olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide combination in the labeled strength, rather than the stronger Tripin OM 40 Tablet. Because it is a combination tablet, it may be prescribed for patients who need more than a single blood pressure medicine, but the exact fit depends on the doctor’s assessment.

• Treatment of high blood pressure
• May help lower the risk of stroke and heart complications from uncontrolled hypertension
• Used when a single blood pressure medicine is not enough
• Combination therapy for patients needing three mechanisms in one tablet

• Take Tripin OM Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• This tablet can cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when you first start it or after a dose increase, so stand up slowly.
• If it upsets your stomach or makes you urinate more, ask your doctor whether taking it at a different time of day would help.

Tripin OM Tablet provides the labeled fixed dose of olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine, and hydrochlorothiazide in each tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule and the maximum daily dose are determined by the prescribing doctor based on blood pressure response and how well you tolerate it.

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

Common side effects of Olmesartan Medoxomil + Amlodipine + Hydrochlorothiazide may include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness, which may be more noticeable with this triple-combination tablet
• Headache
• Swelling of the ankles or feet
• Increased urination
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Low blood pressure

• Do not use Tripin OM Tablet if you are pregnant; medicines that affect the renin-angiotensin system can seriously harm an unborn baby.
• Use caution if you have kidney disease, liver disease, dehydration, gout, diabetes, or a history of electrolyte problems.
• This tablet may cause dizziness, so be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
• Alcohol can add to the blood-pressure-lowering effect and increase lightheadedness.
• Tell your doctor about any heart failure, recent heart attack, or severe aortic stenosis before starting this medicine.
• Avoid becoming dehydrated, especially in hot weather or if you have vomiting or diarrhea, because hydrochlorothiazide can increase fluid loss.
• Do not start potassium supplements, salt substitutes, or diuretics unless your doctor approves them.

• NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen may reduce blood-pressure control and can affect kidney function.
• Other blood pressure medicines can increase the risk of low blood pressure.
• Potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium may raise potassium levels.
• Lithium levels can rise and become toxic when taken with hydrochlorothiazide-containing medicines.
• Certain medicines for diabetes may need closer monitoring because blood sugar and blood pressure can change.
