Cresar CT 80 Tablet 1*10

Cresar CT 80 Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Controlling blood pressure helps lower 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 insufficient. It is important to take this medication consistently, 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 reduce blood pressure

• Chlorthalidone – a diuretic (water pill) that increases urine output to lower blood pressure and reduce fluid retention

Uses

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke

• Protects kidney function in patients with high blood pressure or diabetes

Benefits

• Widens and relaxes blood vessels for improved blood flow

• Removes excess fluid from the body to lower blood pressure

• Reduces long-term risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage

• Supports stable blood pressure when taken regularly

Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Contact your doctor if they persist or cause discomfort. Common side effects include:

How to Use
Take Cresar CT 80 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. It can be taken with or without food, but should be taken at the same time each day. Avoid taking the medicine within four hours of bedtime due to the diuretic effect of Chlorthalidone.

How it Works
Telmisartan relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing pressure on the heart. Chlorthalidone increases urine output, removing excess salt and fluid from the body. The combination effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart and kidneys.
