CTD-T 40/6.25 Tablet

CTD-T 40/6.25 Tablet contains two medicines that work together to control high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of future heart attack and stroke. It contains a diuretic (water pill) so it increases urine output and is best taken during the daytime to avoid frequent urination at night. Take this medicine regularly as advised by your doctor and do not stop suddenly on your own.

CTD-T 40/6.25 Tablet combines Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood flows more easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output and helps remove excess fluid. When blood pressure is controlled, the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney problems is reduced. It should be taken regularly as prescribed even if you do not feel unwell.

Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or bother you.

Common side effects:

• Dizziness
• Back pain
• Sinus infection
• Diarrhea
• Red spots or bumps on skin
• Decreased potassium level in blood
• Increased uric acid level in blood
• Postural hypotension (drop in BP on standing)

Take CTD-T 40/6.25 Tablet in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not chew, crush or break it. It may be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day. Because it contains a diuretic, avoid taking it close to bedtime.

CTD-T 40/6.25 Tablet is a combination of two medicines:

Telmisartan – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone – a thiazide-like diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output and removes excess water and salts from the body. Together, they help control blood pressure more effectively.
