How it works:
Cresar CT 40 Tablet is a combination medicine that has Telmisartan (40 mg) and Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg) in it. These two drugs work together to lower blood pressure.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that stops blood arteries from getting tighter by relaxing and widening them. This makes it easier for blood to flow, which lowers blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of surplus salt and water through urine. This decreases blood pressure by lowering fluid retention and blood volume.
The mixture works in two ways to keep blood pressure at a healthy level and make the heart work better.

Medicine interaction:
Cresar CT 40 Tablet might not work well with some other medicines:
Potassium supplements and potassium-sparing diuretics, such as spironolactone, may raise potassium levels.
NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may make it harder for blood pressure to go down and harm renal function.
Lithium – Could make lithium poisoning worse.
Other blood pressure medicines may drop blood pressure too much.
Alcohol or sedatives may make you feel more dizzy or faint.
Chlorthalidone can change how well your body controls glucose, so you may need to keep an eye on your blood sugar levels.
Before you start using Cresar CT 40, make sure to tell your doctor about all the drugs and supplements you are already taking.
