Arbitel-CT 40 Tablet

Product Introduction
Arbitel-CT 40 Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the chances of serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney complications.

This medicine can be taken with or without meals, preferably at the same time each day. Your dosage will depend on your medical condition and how your body responds to the treatment. Since it contains a diuretic (water pill), it increases urine output, so it is best to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances. Even if you feel healthy, continue taking the medicine regularly, as high blood pressure usually does not cause noticeable symptoms, and stopping it suddenly may increase your risk of complications.

The most common side effect reported is dizziness. Other possible side effects include nausea, headache, diarrhea, and changes in blood lipid levels. Increased urination is expected and is part of how the medicine works to lower blood pressure. While most side effects are mild and temporary, consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or consider a different treatment if needed.

This medication is not recommended for pregnant women. If you have liver or kidney problems, heart conditions, or diabetes, you should speak to your doctor before starting it. Drinking alcohol while taking this medicine can further lower blood pressure and increase the risk of side effects.

Uses of Arbitel-CT 40 Tablet

• Management of high blood pressure (hypertension)

Benefits of Arbitel-CT 40 Tablet
Arbitel-CT 40 Tablet contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone. Telmisartan relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which lowers blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess water and salt through urine, which also helps reduce blood pressure. When your blood pressure is under control, the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems decreases significantly. Though you might not feel immediate effects, the medicine works over time to improve overall health.
