Stamlo Trio 40/12.5 Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the "silent killer" because it usually doesn't cause noticeable symptoms. However, if blood pressure reaches very high levels, it can lead to symptoms such as:
- Severe headaches
- Shortness of breath
- Nosebleeds
- Blurred vision
- Chest pain
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Difficulty breathing
- Nausea or vomiting
- Buzzing in the ears
- Anxiety or a feeling of pulsations in the neck or head
It's important to regularly monitor your blood pressure, even if you feel healthy, as high blood pressure can lead to serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems if left untreated
Take one tablet orally, once a day, with food. Try to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
Follow your doctor's instructions for dosage and do not stop taking it without consulting them.
