Description:
CTD-M 50mg/12.5mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when a single medication is not enough. It helps control blood pressure and reduces the risk of future heart attacks and strokes. Early treatment with this medicine can improve survival chances in patients who have experienced a heart attack.
This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it is preferably taken in the morning to avoid frequent urination during the night. It is important to continue taking the medicine as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medicine on your own may worsen your condition. Additionally, maintaining an active lifestyle with regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management can help control your blood pressure.
Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Staying well-hydrated can help prevent muscle weakness, dry mouth, and extreme thirst. Dizziness or headache due to low blood pressure may occur but usually improves over time.
Before starting CTD-M 50mg/12.5mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor for advice before using this medication. It’s also important to inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, particularly those for high blood pressure or heart conditions. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte levels (such as potassium and magnesium) is advised to ensure the medicine works safely and effectively.
