1. What Trinomia is and what it is used for
The Trinomia capsules contain three substances: acetylsalicylic acid, atorvastatin, and ramipril.
- Acetylsalicylic acid belongs to a group of substances called antiplatelet agents, which help prevent blood cells from sticking together and forming a clot.
- Atorvastatin belongs to a group of substances called statins, which are medications that regulate lipids (fats) and are used to decrease the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, when this cannot be achieved through a low-fat diet and necessary lifestyle changes. If you have an increased risk of suffering from heart disease, atorvastatin can also be used to reduce this risk, even when your cholesterol levels are normal. During treatment, you should follow a standard low-cholesterol diet.
- Ramipril belongs to a group of substances called ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme) that act by decreasing the production of substances in the body that could increase blood pressure; it causes the blood vessels to relax and increase in diameter, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
Trinomia is used as a replacement treatment in adult patients who are adequately controlled with the three substances (acetylsalicylic acid, atorvastatin, and ramipril) taken at the same time at equivalent doses, to reduce the risk of suffering a cardiovascular event, when the patient has already experienced a previous cardiovascular event.
2. What you need to know before taking Trinomia
Empty section
Do not take Trinomia:

- if you are allergic to ramipril or another ACE inhibitor medication.
- if you are allergic to atorvastatin, other similar compounds used to reduce blood lipids, or any of the other components of the medication (included in Section 6).
- if you are allergic to soy or peanuts.
- if you have previously suffered from asthma attacks or other hypersensitivity reactions to certain medications for pain, fever, or inflammation (salicylates or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications).
- if you have active recurrent peptic ulcer or a history of and/or gastrointestinal bleeding, or other types of bleeding such as cerebrovascular hemorrhages.
- if you have a high risk of bleeding (hemophilia).
- if you suffer from a heart condition that is not sufficiently controlled (severe heart failure).
- if you take 15 mg or more of methotrexate per week.
- if you have diabetes or kidney failure and are being treated with a blood pressure medication containing aliskiren.
- if you have nasal polyps (inflamed nodules inside the nose) associated with asthma.
- if you have severe liver or kidney disease.
- if you have unexplained abnormal blood test results for liver function.
- if you are a woman of childbearing age and do not use a reliable contraceptive method.
- if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
- If you are breastfeeding.
- If you are taking:
- HIV protease inhibitors, such as tipranavir or ritonavir (medications used to treat HIV).
- Cyclosporine (a medication commonly used in patients undergoing organ transplants).
- if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction called "angioedema". The symptoms are: itching, hives, red marks on the hands, feet, and throat, swelling of the throat and tongue, swelling around the eyes and lips, difficulty breathing and swallowing.
- if you are undergoing dialysis or any other type of blood filtration procedure. Depending on the device used, Trinomia may not be suitable for you.
- if you have kidney problems that involve a reduction in blood flow to the kidneys (renal artery stenosis).
- if you have abnormally low or unstable blood pressure. Your doctor will need to evaluate you accordingly.
- if the patient is under 18 years of age. In children under 16 years of age with fever, flu, or chickenpox, there is a risk of Reye's syndrome.
- if you are using the combination of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for the treatment of hepatitis C.
- If you have taken or are currently taking sacubitril/valsartan, a medication used to treat a type of long-term (chronic) heart failure in adults, as the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in an area such as the throat) is high.
- If you are taking any of the following medications, the risk of angioedema may increase:
- Racecadotril, a medication used to treat diarrhea.
- Medications used to prevent organ transplant rejection and cancer (e.g., temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus).
- Vildagliptin, a medication used to treat diabetes.
In particular, talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any of the following medications:

Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Trinomia:
- if you are allergic to other pain medications or anti-inflammatory medications, or to other medications for fever or rheumatism different from acetylsalicylic acid or to other substances that cause allergies.
- if you suffer from any other type of allergy (e.g., skin reactions, itching, hives).
- if you have bronchial asthma, hay fever, nasal mucosa inflammation, or chronic lung diseases.
- before undergoing surgery or minor interventions, such as tooth extractions, as there may be a greater tendency to bleeding. You may need to stop taking Trinomia for a short period.
- if you have had ulcers or intestinal or stomach bleeding in the past.
- if you are receiving simultaneous treatment with medications to prevent blood clot formation, pain, fever, or inflammation (different from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen), corticosteroids (to treat allergy or inflammation), or antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- if you are taking or have taken in the last 7 days a medication that contains fusidic acid (used to treat bacterial infections) orally or by injection. The combination of fusidic acid and Trinomia can cause serious muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis).
- if you are taking any of the following medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension):
- an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARA) (also known as "sartans" - e.g., valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), especially if you have kidney problems related to diabetes.
- Aliskiren
- Your doctor may need to check your kidney function, blood pressure, and blood electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium) at regular intervals. See also the information under the heading "Do not take Trinomia"
- if you have or have had heart, liver, or kidney problems, Trinomia may not be suitable for you.
- if you have a deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
- if you are at risk of developing gout, as acetylsalicylic acid can reduce the excretion of uric acid. In certain circumstances, this could lead to a gout attack.
- your doctor will perform a blood test before you start taking Trinomia and, possibly, at regular intervals during treatment, to assess the risk of you suffering from muscle-related side effects.
- if you drink large amounts of alcohol.
- if you have severe respiratory failure.
- if you have lost a large amount of salts or fluids from the body (due to vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, low-salt diet, long-term use of diuretics, or dialysis treatment).
- if you are undergoing treatment to reduce allergic reactions to bee or wasp stings (desensitization).
- if you have high levels of potassium in the blood (detected in blood tests).
- if you have a collagen vascular disease, such as scleroderma or systemic lupus erythematosus.
- if you have or have had myasthenia (a disease that causes generalized muscle weakness that, in some cases, affects the muscles used for breathing) or ocular myasthenia (a disease that causes weakness of the eye muscles), as statins can sometimes worsen the disease or cause myasthenia to appear (see section 4).
Immediately contact your doctor if you experience pain, sensitivity, or muscle weakness of unknown origin. This is because, in rare cases, muscle disorders can be severe, such as muscle destruction that causes kidney damage; in very rare cases, it has led to the patient's death.
Also, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have constant muscle weakness. Additional tests and medications may be necessary to diagnose and treat this problem.
The risk of muscle destruction is higher in certain patients. Consult your doctor if you are in any of the following cases:
- if you have had a previous stroke with bleeding in the brain, or have small fluid-filled sacs in the brain due to previous strokes.
- you have kidney problems.
- you have thyroid problems.
- you have ever had muscle problems during treatment with other lipid-lowering medications (e.g., other statins or fibrates).
- you or a close relative have hereditary muscle disorders.
- you regularly consume large amounts of alcohol.
- you are over 70 years old.
If so, your doctor will ask you to have a blood test before and, possibly, during treatment, to assess the risk of you suffering from muscle-related side effects.
It is known that the risk of muscle-related side effects, e.g., rhabdomyolysis, increases when certain medications are taken at the same time (see Section 2. Taking Trinomia with other medications).
While taking this medication, your doctor will closely monitor you if you are diabetic or at risk of developing diabetes. You are at risk of developing diabetes if you have high levels of sugar and fat in the blood, are overweight, and have high blood pressure.
It is generally recommended to correct dehydration, hypovolemia, or reduction of mineral salts before starting treatment (in patients with heart failure, however, such correction should be carefully evaluated against the risk of volume overload).
Taking Trinomia with other medications
Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication. This is because Trinomia can affect how other medications work. Additionally, some medications can affect how Trinomia works.
Trinomia contains acetylsalicylic acid, a substance that can affect how other medications work. Additionally, some medications can affect how acetylsalicylic acid works. Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications, which may increase the risk of side effects:
- Anticoagulants (e.g., coumarin and heparin) and medications to dissolve blood clots, as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Pay close attention to signs of internal and external bleeding (e.g., bruising) before starting treatment with these medications.
- Other platelet aggregation inhibitors (medications that inhibit the cohesion or agglutination of blood platelets) such as ticlopidine and clopidogrel, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.
- Medications containing cortisone or cortisone-like substances, such as prednisolone (except for products applied to the skin or treatment with cortisone for Addison's disease), as they increase the risk of side effects in the digestive tract.
- Other pain or inflammation medications (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or indomethacin) and for rheumatism, as they generally increase the risk of bleeding and gastrointestinal ulcers.
- Medications to reduce blood sugar levels (antidiabetics), as they can cause low blood sugar levels.
- Digoxin (a medication to strengthen the heart).
- Methotrexate (treatment for cancer and certain rheumatic diseases).
- Valproic acid for the treatment of seizures (epilepsy).
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (for the treatment of depression), as they can increase the risk of bleeding in the digestive tract.
- Cyclosporine (a medication commonly used in patients undergoing organ transplants).
- Vancomycin (an antibiotic), as it can cause hearing problems.
Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications, which may make acetylsalicylic acid less effective:
- Medications that increase urine excretion (diuretics; aldosterone antagonists, such as spironolactone and canrenoate; loop diuretics, such as furosemide).
- Medications that enhance uric acid excretion (such as probenecid and benzbromarone)
- Ibuprofen: may reduce the antiplatelet effect of acetylsalicylic acid.
- If administered together, metamizole (a substance to reduce pain and fever) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (blood cells stick together and form a blood clot). Therefore, this combination should be used with caution in patients taking low doses of acetylsalicylic acid as a cardioprotector.
Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications. They may be affected by acetylsalicylic acid:
- Interferon alpha: acetylsalicylic acid may reduce the effect of interferon alpha.
- Medications for manic-depressive syndromes (lithium).
- Antacids (for the treatment of indigestion).
- Barbiturates (for the treatment of convulsive disorders).
- Zidovudine (for the treatment of HIV).
- Phenytoin (for the treatment of epilepsy).
- Acetylsalicylic acid may alter the results of blood and urine tests.
Trinomia contains atorvastatin, a substance that can affect how other medications work. Additionally, some medications can affect how Trinomia works. Moreover, it could increase the risk of side effects or their intensity, including the serious muscle disorder described in the previous section "Warnings and precautions"). Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:
- Cyclosporine (a medication commonly used in patients undergoing organ transplants).
- Certain antibiotics or antifungals, such as erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, posaconazole, rifampicin
- If you need to take oral fusidic acid to treat a bacterial infection, you will need to stop using this medication. Your doctor will indicate when you can restart treatment with Trinomia. The use of Trinomia with fusidic acid can cause muscle weakness, sensitivity, or pain (rhabdomyolysis). For more information on rhabdomyolysis, see section 4.
- Medications for the treatment of HIV, such as ritonavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, indinavir, darunavir, saquinavir, efavirenz, the combination of tipranavir/ritonavir, etc.
- Other medications to regulate lipid levels, such as gemfibrozil, other fibrates, or colestipol.
- Certain medications used to treat hepatitis C, e.g., telaprevir, boceprevir, and the combination of elbasvir/grazoprevir.
- Certain calcium channel blockers used to treat angina or hypertension, such as amlodipine, diltiazem; medications to regulate heart rhythm, such as digoxin, verapamil, or amiodarone.
- Other medications known to interact with atorvastatin are ezetimibe (which reduces cholesterol), warfarin (to reduce blood clots), oral contraceptives, stiripentol (an anticonvulsant for the treatment of epilepsy), phenazone (a pain reliever), cimetidine (an H2 receptor antagonist), colchicine (used to treat gout), and antacids (products to treat indigestion that contain aluminum or magnesium).
- Over-the-counter medications: Hypericum or St. John's Wort
Trinomia contains ramipril, a substance that can affect how other medications work. Additionally, some medications can affect how ramipril works. Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications, which may increase the risk of side effects:
- Medications for cancer (chemotherapy).
- Medications to prevent organ rejection after transplantation, such as cyclosporine.
- Diuretics such as furosemide.
- Medications that can increase potassium levels in the blood, such as spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride, potassium salts, and heparin (to prevent blood clots).
- Steroidal medications for inflammation, such as prednisolone.
- Allopurinol (to reduce uric acid levels in the blood).
- Procainamide (for heart rhythm problems).
Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications, which may make ramipril less effective:
- Medications for hypotension, shock, heart failure, asthma, or allergies, such as ephedrine, noradrenaline, or adrenaline. Your doctor should check your blood pressure.
Consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications. They may be affected by ramipril:
- Medications for diabetes, such as oral medications to lower blood sugar and insulin. Ramipril may lower your blood sugar levels. Closely monitor your blood sugar levels when taking Trinomia.
- Lithium (for mental health problems). Ramipril may increase lithium levels in the blood. Your doctor should closely monitor your lithium levels in the blood.
Your doctor may need to adjust your dose and/or take other precautions:
If you are taking an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARA) or aliskiren (see also the information under the headings "Do not take Trinomia" and "Warnings and precautions").
If you are in any of the above cases (or are unsure), consult your doctor before taking Trinomia.
Taking Trinomia with food, drinks, and alcohol
Alcohol increases the risk of bleeding and stomach and intestinal ulcers. Additionally, alcohol can have additive effects with medications used to lower blood pressure. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Trinomia.
Grapefruit juice contains one or more compounds that alter the way the body uses medications, including Trinomia. Grapefruit juice should be avoided.
Trinomia should be taken preferably after a meal (see Section 3).
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
