What is ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET used for?

ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

How does ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET work?

ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET is a combination of three active ingredients: Cilnidipine, Telmisartan, and Metoprolol.

• Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, promoting smoother blood flow.
• Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels and thereby lowering blood pressure.
• Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Together, these ingredients work to lower blood pressure, reduce the strain on the heart, and improve overall blood flow.

What is the usual dosage for ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET?

Is ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

ARBITEL TRIO 50 MG TABLET is generally not recommended and is considered unsafe during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, as it carries a definite risk of harm to the developing baby. It is also not recommended for use during breastfeeding, as metoprolol passes into breast milk, and it is unknown if telmisartan is excreted in human breast milk. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding before taking this medication.

Avoid taking it with medicines like Amiodarone, Disopyramide, Indomethacin, Sulindac, Diclofenac, and Focetan, as these can decrease its effect. You should also avoid consuming grapefruit juice, as it may interact with the components of this medicine and increase its concentration.

Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, diabetes, thyroid disorder, asthma, very low blood pressure, poor blood circulation, psoriasis, an adrenal gland tumor (pheochromocytoma), gout, or other severe heart problems apart from hypertension. It is also advisable to rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to prevent dizziness. Avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements. This medicine is not recommended for children.
