Triplixam 10mg/2.5mg/10mg Tablet contains perindopril arginine 10mg, indapamide 2.5mg, and amlodipine 10mg. It is a fixed-dose combination antihypertensive medicine used to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension).

Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels and reduce blood-pressure resistance. Indapamide is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess salt and water, while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels. Together, these medicines provide complementary blood-pressure-lowering effects.

This fixed-dose combination is generally intended as substitution therapy for patients already controlled on the corresponding doses of perindopril/indapamide and amlodipine, rather than as initial therapy.
