CTD 6.25 Tablet

Product Introduction

CTD 6.25 Tablet is a prescription medication primarily used to manage and treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain types of heart conditions. This medication combines two active ingredients: Carvedilol and Telmisartan. Each tablet contains 6.25 mg of Carvedilol and 40 mg of Telmisartan.

Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with additional alpha-blocking activity. It is used to reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decrease the heart’s workload. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. This combination enhances the efficacy of treatment for hypertension and related cardiovascular conditions.

Uses of CTD 6.25 Tablet

CTD 6.25 Tablet is primarily prescribed for:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): The combination of Carvedilol and Telmisartan effectively reduces blood pressure, helping to manage hypertension and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
• Heart Failure: Carvedilol’s ability to lower heart rate and blood pressure can help manage symptoms of heart failure. Telmisartan’s role in reducing blood pressure also supports overall heart health.
• Left Ventricular Dysfunction: The medication can be used to treat patients with left ventricular dysfunction, often resulting from heart failure or myocardial infarction.
• Post-Myocardial Infarction: CTD 6.25 Tablet may be used after a heart attack to prevent further cardiovascular events and manage heart function.

Benefits of CTD 6.25 Tablet

• Effective Blood Pressure Management: By combining Carvedilol and Telmisartan, CTD 6.25 Tablet provides a dual approach to controlling blood pressure. Carvedilol reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions, while Telmisartan dilates blood vessels, leading to a more comprehensive reduction in blood pressure.
• Improved Heart Function: The medication helps to decrease the workload on the heart and improve overall heart function, which is particularly beneficial for patients with heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction.
• Reduction in Cardiovascular Risk: Regular use of CTD 6.25 Tablet can lower the risk of severe cardiovascular events, including stroke and heart attack, by effectively managing hypertension and supporting heart health.
• Convenient Combination Therapy: Combining two medications into a single tablet can improve patient compliance and convenience, reducing the need for multiple prescriptions and simplifying the treatment regimen.
