Starcad-Ct 50Mg Tablet belongs to a group of medications called ‘antihypertensives’ used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It can also reduce oedema (fluid retention) in hypertensive patients. Hypertension is a condition in which there will be a persistent rise in blood pressure levels. This condition can also cause fluid retention, leading to peripheral oedema (swelling of legs and hands).
Starcad-Ct 50Mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Metoprolol and Chlorthalidone. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker and works by blocking epinephrine, resulting in a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic or water pill that acts by expelling excess water and salt from the body. It helps in decreasing fluid accumulation and oedema.

Starcad-Ct 50Mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Metoprolol and Chlorthalidone. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker and works by acting on epinephrine, a hormone that can increase heart rate and blood pressure. So, blocking the action of epinephrine can result in a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic or water pill that acts by expelling excess water and salt from the body. It helps in decreasing fluid accumulation and swelling or edema.

Hypertension: It is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently at higher than normal levels. It occurs when the blood’s force against the wall of blood vessels is too high. This condition can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes damage to the brain, kidneys, and eyes. The risk of high blood pressure complications increases with the following: obesity, smoking, diabetes, alcohol intake, lack of physical inactivity, stress, and kidney diseases.
