Introduction About CTD L 6.25/50MG TABLET
CTD L 6.25/50MG TABLET is a combination of Chlorthalidone and Losartan which belongs to the group of medicines called Antihypertensive drugs. It is used in adults to manage mild to moderate high blood pressure which is not adequately controlled by monotherapy.
High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is a medical condition in which the force of the blood exerted against the walls of the artery remains very high and as a result it may lead to severe damage to the blood vessels supplying several organs, thus causing heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke or even blindness.  Â
During the course of the management, your doctor might regularly monitor your blood pressure, kidney function and electrolyte balance to avoid any untoward side effects. Before taking CTD L 6.25/50MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver or heart problems, including diabetes, gout or Adisson’s disease. Â
