Cetanil Trio 12.5 Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when one medication alone is not effective. By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Cetanil Trio 12.5 Tablet should be taken with food, as per your doctor's instructions. Your dose will depend on how well you respond to the treatment. It's essential to take the medication regularly, ideally at the same time each day, to maximize its effectiveness. The tablet contains a diuretic (water pill), which increases urination, so avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to minimize nighttime bathroom trips. Even if you feel fine, continue using it because high blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping the medication could increase your risk of serious complications.
Common side effects include ankle swelling, headache, dizziness, tiredness, and a change in taste. If these persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Staying hydrated can help alleviate some side effects like muscle weakness, dry mouth, and thirst.
Before starting the medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before taking the medicine. Also, ensure your doctor is aware of any other medications you're taking, particularly for high blood pressure or heart conditions. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure, kidney function, electrolyte levels, and blood sugar levels is important to ensure the medication is working effectively.
