It belongs to the angiotensin receptor blocker + calcium channel blocker + thiazide-like diuretic class. This advanced combination lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, reducing vascular resistance, and removing excess salt and water through urine. OLMIN TRIO 40MG TABLET 15 tablet helps lower the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney damage. It is commonly available in strengths such as 20 mg/10 mg/12.5 mg and 40 mg/10 mg/12.5 mg, offering convenient once-daily BP control with better adherence.
