Description
Product Introduction:
CTD-T AM 12.5/40/5 Tablet is a combination medication used in the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It is prescribed when a single antihypertensive medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure, this tablet helps reduce the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.
This tablet should be taken with food, and the dosage will depend on your individual condition and how you respond to the medication. It’s crucial to take it regularly at the same time each day, as advised by your doctor, to achieve the best results. Since the tablet contains a diuretic (water pill), it may increase urination, so it is recommended to avoid taking it within four hours before bedtime. Even if you feel well, continue using this medication to manage your blood pressure effectively. Stopping it without medical advice may increase the risk of serious heart and vascular problems.

How CTD-T AM Tablet Works:
CTD-T AM 12.5/40/5 Tablet combines three active ingredients:
- Telmisartan (40 mg) – An angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure.
- Amlodipine (5 mg) – A calcium channel blocker (CCB) that relaxes the blood vessels and improves blood flow.
- Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg) – A diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess salt and water through urine, further lowering blood pressure and reducing fluid buildup.
Together, these ingredients work to lower high blood pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
