CTD-M 6.25/50 Tablet ER is a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), particularly when a single medicine is not sufficient to control it. By effectively managing blood pressure, it also helps lower the risk of future heart attacks and strokes. Early initiation of this medicine has shown improved survival rates in patients who have experienced a heart attack.
This tablet can be taken with or without food, preferably in the morning to minimize nighttime urination caused by its diuretic component. It is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed and to continue using it even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medicine without your doctor’s advice may worsen your condition. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management, will further enhance the medicine’s effectiveness.
Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue. Dizziness or headache may occur due to a drop in blood pressure, but these symptoms typically improve over time. Drinking plenty of fluids is recommended to help prevent muscle weakness, dry mouth, and extreme thirst.
Before starting CTD-M 6.25/50 Tablet ER, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medicine. It’s also important to disclose any other medications you’re taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart conditions, as interactions may occur. Routine monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance (such as potassium and magnesium) is advised to ensure the medicine is working safely and effectively.
