Tribenzor Side Effects
Some of the possible reactions to Tribenzor include dizziness, swelling, and headaches. In most cases, people can take this medication without any problems. However, contact your healthcare provider if you develop serious side effects while taking Tribenzor, such as chest pain, decreased urine production, or difficulty breathing. Even if the reaction is unrelated to the medication, your healthcare provider can help diagnose and treat the problem.
An Introduction to Tribenzor Side Effects
As with any medicine, Tribenzor™ (olmesartan medoxomil/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide) can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes the medication will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Tribenzor. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Common Side Effects of Tribenzor
Tribenzor has been studied extensively in clinical trials. In these studies, one group of people received Tribenzor, while other people were given two of the three components of Tribenzor (either olmesartan and amlodipine, olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide, or amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide).
