Pregnancy interaction:
Pregnancy: Cresar CT 80 is not safe to take when pregnant, especially in the second and third trimesters.
Telmisartan can hurt an unborn infant, causing kidney failure, less amniotic fluid, or even the death of the fetus.
If you get pregnant or plan to, stop taking this medicine right once and talk to your doctor about other options.
Breastfeeding: Chlorthalidone may go into breast milk and harm the baby who is breastfeeding. So, Cresar CT 80 is not a good idea during breastfeeding.
Expert advice:
To keep your blood levels stable, take the drug at the same time every day.
Don't stand up rapidly from sitting or lying down to avoid getting dizzy (postural hypotension).
Drink adequate water, but don't eat too much salt.
During treatment, keep an eye on your blood pressure, electrolytes, and renal function.
Unless your doctor tells you to, don't use potassium supplements.
Don't drink or smoke because they can make it harder to control your blood pressure.
For greater outcomes, keep making changes to your life, such working out, eating less salt, and managing stress.

How to use:
Follow your doctor's instructions completely when you use Cresar CT 80 Tablet.
It is best to take it at the same time every day, usually once a day.
Take the pill with a glass of water.
You can take it with or without food.
Do not break, chew, or crush the tablet.
Even if you feel OK, keep taking it because high blood pressure doesn't always have symptoms.
Take it as soon as you remember if you forget a dosage. If it's almost time for your next dose, don't take it. Don't take twice as much.
How it works:
Cresar CT 80 Tablet is a combination drug with two active ingredients: Telmisartan (80 mg) and Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg).
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow by relaxing and expanding blood vessels, which stops them from tightening.
Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of extra salt and water through urine. This lowers blood volume and blood pressure even more.
These two substances work together to keep blood pressure in a healthy level and make the heart work better.

It is used to lower blood pressure and stop problems like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage from happening.

No, it is not safe to take while pregnant, and if you do become pregnant, you should stop taking it right away.

Until the dizziness goes away, sit or lie down. Don't drive or use machines until you feel better.

Yes, you may have to go to the bathroom more often because of the Chlorthalidone in the prescription. This is especially true when you first start taking it.
8. Is it safe for people with diabetes to use Cresar CT 80?
Yes, but you should check your blood sugar levels often because Chlorthalidone can change them.
9. Is it safe for people who have kidney problems?
It should only be used with care and under the care of a doctor. You may need to change the dose.
10. Can Cresar CT 80 throw off the balance of electrolytes?

Medicine interaction:
Cresar CT 80 Tablet may not work well with other drugs, such as:
NSAIDs (like ibuprofen and naproxen): These drugs may make it harder for blood pressure to go down and damage renal function.
Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone) can raise the amount of potassium in your blood.
Lithium: Higher chance of lithium poisoning.
Chlorthalidone, an antidiabetic medication, may change blood sugar levels.
Other blood pressure medications: Could make blood pressure drop too low.
Alcohol or sedatives: These can make you feel more dizzy or faint.
Before you start taking Cresar CT 80, tell your doctor about all the other drugs and supplements you are taking.
