Tritace Comp Ls 2.5/12.5 mg 14 tab

Tritace Comp Ls 14 Tablets

Description:

Tritace Comp Ls 14 Tablets (Tritace Comp 5/25 mg) is a prescription antihypertensive medicine that combines two active ingredients: ramipril (an angiotensin-converting enzyme – ACE – inhibitor) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic or "water pill"). This fixed-dose combination is used to effectively lower high blood pressure in adults who require both an ACE inhibitor and a diuretic to achieve adequate blood pressure control. By relaxing blood vessels and promoting the excretion of excess salt and water, Tritace Comp helps reduce cardiovascular risk and supports long-term heart and vascular health.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential (primary) hypertension in adults.
• Management of high blood pressure in patients who have previously been stabilized on ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide given separately at equivalent doses.
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure, such as risk of stroke, heart attack, and other complications, when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan as directed by a physician.
• Helps control symptoms and complications related to sustained high blood pressure, such as headache, dizziness, and strain on the heart and blood vessels (when used regularly as prescribed).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Ramipril – 5 mg per tablet (ace inhibitor).
• Hydrochlorothiazide – 25 mg per tablet (thiazide diuretic).
• Other excipients: Full list of inactive ingredients (such as tablet fillers, binders, and coloring agents) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the official package leaflet for the complete excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Tritace Comp Ls is for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Typical adult dose: 1 tablet once daily, preferably at the same time each day. The exact dose and duration are determined by your physician based on your blood pressure response and clinical condition.
• Tablets may be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water; do not crush or chew unless advised by your doctor.
• Do not change the dose, stop, or restart the medication without consulting your physician, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes (especially potassium and sodium) is recommended during treatment.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides dual blood pressure control by combining an ace inhibitor (ramipril) with a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) in a single tablet.
• Helps relax and widen blood vessels, reducing resistance and making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
• Promotes the excretion of excess salt and water, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce fluid overload.
• Supports long-term cardiovascular protection when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, potentially lowering the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other hypertension-related complications.
• Convenient once-daily dosing may improve adherence compared to taking ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide as separate medications.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ramipril, other ace inhibitors, hydrochlorothiazide, other sulfonamide-derived drugs, or any component of the product.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat) associated with previous ace inhibitor therapy or hereditary/idiopathic angioedema.
• Contraindicated in severe renal impairment, anuria (no urine production), or severe hepatic impairment, unless specifically directed and closely monitored by a specialist.
• Not recommended during pregnancy; ace inhibitors can cause serious harm to the fetus, especially in the second and third trimesters. If pregnancy is planned or suspected, inform your doctor immediately.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, diabetes, gout, electrolyte disturbances (such as low sodium or potassium imbalance), or those on a low-salt diet.
• May interact with other medications, including potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, lithium, certain painkillers (nsaids), other antihypertensives, and antidiabetic drugs. Inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• May cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially at the start of treatment or when the dose is increased. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, heart failure, or electrolyte imbalance.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease outside its approved medical indications.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, dry cough (typical of ace inhibitors), nausea, abdominal discomfort, and increased urination due to the diuretic component.
• Electrolyte changes (such as low sodium, low potassium, or high potassium), changes in kidney function, or increased blood urea/creatinine may occur; regular blood tests are recommended.
• Less common but serious side effects include angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), severe skin reactions, significant drop in blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, jaundice, or signs of liver problems.
• Stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, severe swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness or fainting, chest pain, or signs of severe allergic reaction.
• This is not a complete list of side effects. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more detailed information.
