CTD-T 6.25/80 Tablet includes two active ingredients:

• Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg): This thiazide-like diuretic works on your kidneys to increase the excretion of salt and water from your body. This process reduces the volume of blood and decreases blood pressure. Additionally, Chlorthalidone relaxes blood vessels which further assists in lowering blood pressure.

• Telmisartan (80 mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Telmisartan selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in tissues like vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This action inhibits the blood vessel narrowing (vasoconstrictor) effects and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.

The combined effect of these two components contributes significantly to a reduction in blood pressure.

• To manage high blood pressure, reduce your intake of salt. Too much salt can cause your body to retain water, which can increase blood pressure.
