What is Zilarta Ct 40/6.25 used for?

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
especially when single-drug therapy is inadequate; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events associated with uncontrolled BP (as per physician assessment).

How Zilarta Ct 40/6.25 Works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II action, lowering blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that increases salt and water excretion, reducing blood volume and BP. Together they provide additive blood pressure control.

Dosage & Directions

Take orally exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day; may be taken with or without food. Swallow tablet with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice. If it causes increased urination, taking it in the morning may be preferred.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
