Description
Product Introduction: Arbitel-CT 80 Tablet is a combination medicine used to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. This medication is commonly prescribed when a single medicine is not enough to effectively manage blood pressure.
Key Ingredients:
- Telmisartan (80mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax and widen the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing blood pressure.
- Chlorthalidone (12.5mg): A diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water, lowering blood pressure by reducing fluid buildup.
Key Benefits:
- Lowers Blood Pressure: The combination of Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone helps reduce high blood pressure, which in turn lowers the risk of serious conditions like heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
- Dual Action: While Telmisartan relaxes and widens the blood vessels, Chlorthalidone helps eliminate excess fluid, further contributing to blood pressure control.
- Prevents Long-Term Risks: Regular use of Arbitel-CT helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels over time, reducing the likelihood of heart and kidney-related complications.
How Arbitel-CT 80 Tablet Works:
- Telmisartan: It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this action, it helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and lowering blood pressure.
- Chlorthalidone: A diuretic that removes excess sodium and water from the body, lowering blood volume and further reducing blood pressure.
Uses:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Arbitel-CT 80 Tablet is prescribed to help control high blood pressure. It is especially effective when one medication alone is not sufficient to control the condition.
Side Effects: While many side effects may not require medical attention and will subside as your body adjusts to the medication, some common side effects include:
- Dizziness
- Back pain
- Sinus infection
- Diarrhea
- Decreased potassium level in blood
- Increased uric acid level in blood
- Postural hypertension (low blood pressure when standing up)
- Impotence
- Loss of appetite
- Gastrointestinal disturbances
If these side effects persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor.
How to Use:
- Take Arbitel-CT 80 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to ensure consistent effectiveness.
- Avoid taking the tablet too close to bedtime, as the diuretic effect may cause increased urination.
Safety Information:
- This medicine should not be used during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your doctor.
