Cresar CT 40 Tablet

Product Overview

Cresar CT 40 Tablet is a combination medicine that helps manage high blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of serious health issues like heart attacks and strokes. It also supports better heart and kidney function, especially in individuals with underlying conditions such as diabetes.

The tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to improve blood flow and reduce pressure in the arteries. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day as prescribed by your doctor. Regular use is essential, even if you feel healthy, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms and untreated hypertension can lead to complications. Since the tablet includes a diuretic component, it increases urine output, so it’s advisable to avoid taking it within a few hours of bedtime to prevent nighttime disruptions.

Uses

Managing high blood pressure (hypertension)

Benefits

Cresar CT 40 Tablet combines Telmisartan, which relaxes and widens blood vessels to ease blood flow, and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic that helps remove excess water and salt from the body. This dual-action helps in controlling blood pressure more effectively, especially when one medication alone isn’t sufficient. Proper management of blood pressure reduces the chances of stroke, heart attack, and kidney-related complications.
