CTD-T AM 6.25/80/5 Tablet

CTD-T AM 6.25/80/5 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medication is not effective. By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of future heart attack and stroke.

It should be taken with food. The dose depends on your condition and your response to the medicine. Take it at the same time each day and continue using it until your doctor advises you to stop. As it contains a diuretic (water pill), it can increase urination, so it is better to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime.

Use this medicine regularly even if you feel well, because high blood pressure usually has no symptoms. Stopping it suddenly may increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.

CTD-T AM 6.25/80/5 Tablet relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood can flow more easily around the body. It also removes excess water from the body and increases urine output, which helps further lower blood pressure.

When blood pressure is controlled, the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack and kidney problems is significantly reduced. The medicine works over the long term to keep you well, even if you do not feel an immediate benefit. It should be taken regularly as prescribed for best effect.

Most side effects are mild and usually disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or worry you.

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Sleepiness
• Edema (swelling)

CTD-T AM 6.25/80/5 Tablet is a combination of three medicines:

Telmisartan – an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes and widens blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
Amlodipine – a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Chlorthalidone – a diuretic (water pill) that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body through urine and, over time, also helps relax blood vessels.
