About This Medication

# Daiichi Sankyo Open Care Program Patient Guide: How to Get Tribenzor at Low or No Cost Tribenzor (olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults not adequately controlled by two other blood pressure medications. The **Daiichi Sankyo Open Care Program** offers free Tribenzor to eligible uninsured patients with low income, helping those who cannot afford their medication or find other payment sources.[3][7] ## About Tribenzor **Tribenzor** is a **three-in-one combination pill** approved by the FDA in 2010 for hypertension treatment. It contains: - **Olmesartan medoxomil**: Blocks angiotensin II receptors to relax blood vessels. - **Amlodipine**: A calcium channel blocker that prevents calcium entry into blood vessel walls, easing blood flow. - **Hydrochlorothiazide**: A diuretic that reduces blood volume by removing excess water and salt.[2] Taken once daily, Tribenzor simplifies treatment for patients needing multiple blood pressure drugs, potentially improving adherence by reducing pill burden. Clinical trials showed it lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure more effectively than dual combinations, with mean reductions of 7.6-8.4/4.5-5.4 mm Hg after 8 weeks.[2] It's not for initial therapy but for those not controlled on two-drug regimens. Common side effects include dizziness, swelling, or fatigue—discuss with your doctor.[1][2] ## Who Qualifies for the Program?
