Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation

Hyperuricemia and gout: Hyperuricemia is an excess of uric acid in the blood that can lead to gout, a painful form of arthritis.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of CTD-M 6.25/25 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Gastrointestinal disturbances: If you experience nausea or diarrhoea, try taking this medicine with food to minimise these symptoms.

CTD-M 6.25/25 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

Chlorthalidone (6.25 mg): This is a thiazide-like diuretic that works by increasing the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water from your body. By doing so, it lowers the total volume of blood and reduces your heart's workload, which in turn helps to lower blood pressure.
Metoprolol Succinate (25 mg): Functioning as a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, metoprolol succinate reduces your heart rate, decreases the force with which your heart muscles contract, and lessens the amount of blood your heart pumps out. This action contributes to lower blood pressure. Its extended-release formulation ensures a gradual and sustained release over 24 hours.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking CTD-M 6.25/25 Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
