Triplixam is a combination of three active substances: perindopril, indapamide, and amlodipine. It is an antihypertensive medicine used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension).
Patients taking a fixed-dose combination of perindopril/indapamide and amlodipine as separate tablets may take one Triplixam tablet containing all three active ingredients in the same quantities.
Each active component lowers blood pressure, and together they help control blood pressure:
• Perindopril belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by widening blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them.
• Indapamide is a diuretic medicine (belonging to the class of sulfonamide derivatives with an indole ring). Diuretics increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. However, indapamide differs from other diuretics as it causes only a slight increase in urine production.
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (belonging to the group of medicines called dihydropyridines). It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily through them.
