Frequently asked questions
What is Telpres Trio 40mg/10mg/12.5mg Tablet used for?
It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) by combining three blood-pressure-lowering medicines in a single tablet.
Why does it contain three different medicines?
Each ingredient lowers blood pressure in a different way. Using them together often controls blood pressure more effectively than a single medicine, especially when one alone is not enough.
Can I take this medicine during pregnancy?
No. It is considered highly unsafe in pregnancy and can harm the baby. Tell your doctor right away if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
Do I need to keep taking it if my blood pressure is normal?
Yes. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping the medicine can let it rise again. Keep taking it as prescribed unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Will this medicine make me urinate more?
It contains a diuretic that helps remove extra salt and water, so you may pass urine more often. Taking it earlier in the day can reduce night-time trips to the toilet.
