Cresar CT 6.25 Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Controlling blood pressure helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney-related complications. This tablet combines two active ingredients—Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone—to provide effective blood pressure control, especially when a single medicine is not sufficient. The medication should be taken regularly, even if you feel well, to maintain long-term cardiovascular health.

Salt and Composition

Telmisartan – relaxes and widens blood vessels to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure
Chlorthalidone – a diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output, reducing excess fluid in the body and lowering blood pressure

Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke

Relaxes and widens blood vessels to improve blood flow

How to Use
Take Cresar CT 6.25 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it. It may be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Avoid taking the tablet within four hours of bedtime, as Chlorthalidone increases urine output.

How it Works
Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing pressure on the heart and arteries. Chlorthalidone, a diuretic, increases urination, helping to remove excess salt and water from the body. Together, these actions lower blood pressure, protect organs, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
