Table of contents:

Tribenzor is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is a combination medication containing three active ingredients: olmesartan medoxomil amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide.

Olmesartan medoxomil works by blocking the vasoconstrictor effects of angiotensin II, a chemical in the body that can cause blood vessels to narrow. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess salt and water which can also help lower blood pressure.

Tribenzor is typically used when blood pressure is not well controlled on a single medication. Take Tribenzor as prescribed and make any necessary lifestyle changes to help control blood pressure.

Uses and Dosage

Tribenzor is a tablet medication that is taken orally with or without food as per the doctor's instructions typically once a day. To avoid the need to wake up to urinate at night take Tribenzor at least four hours before bedtime. The recommended dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

To get the most benefit from Tribenzor take the tablet regularly at the same time each day. Keep taking the medication even if you feel well as most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. It can take up to two weeks to get the full benefits of the medication.

The recommended dosage of Tribenzor is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. According to the manufacturer the typical starting dose for Tribenzor is 20 mg/5 mg/12.5 mg (olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide) taken orally once daily. The dosage may be increased in two-week intervals as needed but the maximum recommended dose is 40/10/25 mg. Dose selection should be individualized based on previous therapy and the patient's response to treatment. Follow your doctor's instructions and not use a larger or smaller dosage or take Tribenzor for longer than recommended.

If you are also taking bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol to lower cholesterol, take Tribenzor at least four hours before or four to six hours after taking these medications.
