About Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet

Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart-related chest pain (angina). It comprises Cilnidipine (calcium channel blocker), Telmisartan (angiotensin receptor blocker), and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics/'water pills). Hypertension is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it leads to heart disease. Angina is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.

Tricinod 10/12.5 Tablet is composed of three medicines, namely Telmisartan, Cilnidipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of certain substances that are responsible for tightening the blood vessels. It allows the blood to flow more smoothly and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Cilnidipine blocks the activities of the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. As a result, the blood vessels widen, and supply to the heart increases, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the workload placed on the heart.  Thus, it reduces the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future.
