This medicine helps to lower high blood pressure, thus reducing the chances of future heart attack and stroke.

In some cases, Cartis Trio Tab may cause common side effects like ankle swelling, headache, dizziness, tiredness, taste change, muscle weakness, dry mouth, and extreme thirst. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, reach out to your doctor.

You can take Cartis Trio Tab with or without food as advised by your doctor. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. Your doctor will guide you on how to take the medicine based on your medical condition.
