About This Medication

# Getting Help Paying for Tribenzor: Your Guide to Affordability Programs ## Important Information About Tribenzor Assistance Tribenzor is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. It contains three active ingredients: olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine, and hydrochlorothiazide. While the manufacturer Daiichi Sankyo does not currently have an active patient assistance program (PAP), there are several other ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for this medication. ## About Tribenzor Tribenzor combines three blood pressure-lowering medications in one tablet: - **Olmesartan medoxomil** - an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) - **Amlodipine** - a calcium channel blocker - **Hydrochlorothiazide** - a diuretic (water pill) Taking this combination medication helps control high blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. ## Available Resources to Lower Your Costs ### 1.

State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs Most U.S. states offer their own programs to help residents afford prescription medications.
