The Telclay-Trio 6.25 tablet is a combination medication used primarily for managing hypertension (high blood pressure). Here's a breakdown of the components and their roles:
Telmisartan (Micronized) 40 mg: Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Cilnidipine 10 mg: Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps reduce blood pressure. It also has a unique dual mechanism that affects both the arteries and the veins.
Chlorthalidone 6.25 mg: Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess sodium and water, which helps lower blood pressure.
Together, these medications address hypertension through different mechanisms:
Telmisartan: Directly affects the angiotensin II pathway.
Cilnidipine: Affects calcium channels to relax blood vessels.
Chlorthalidone: Reduces fluid retention and blood volume.
