CTD-12.5 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. Higher blood pressure leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat and other complications like oedema (fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs, leading to swelling).

CTD-12.5 Tablet contains Chlortalodone, which works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. Thereby it helps treat hypertension and oedema.
