About Zolahart CT 40 Tablet

Zolahart CT 40 Tablet belongs to the class of drugs called anti-hypertensive agents primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. High blood pressure is mostly caused by obesity, diabetes, smoking, high salt intake, stress, lack of physical activity or ageing.

Zolahart CT 40 Tablet consists of two medicines, namely: Azilsartan and Chlorthalidone. Azilsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin. This helps relax the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Chlorthalidone belongs to thiazide diuretics (water pill) which inhibits fluid retention or build-up. Thus, it relaxes the blood vessels and improves blood circulation. Together, Zolahart CT 40 Tablet helps lower raised blood pressure.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Zolahart CT 40 Tablet can cause side effects like nausea, taste changes, stomach upset, diarrhoea, headache, weakness, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure. Most of these side effects of Zolahart CT 40 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Before taking Zolahart CT 40 Tablet , let your doctor know if you have kidney, liver problems or severe dehydration. Avoid using Zolahart CT 40 Tablet if you are pregnant. Breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Zolahart CT 40 Tablet . Do not consume alcohol with Zolahart CT 40 Tablet as it may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.

Medicinal Benefits

Zolahart CT 40 Tablet is a combination of Azilsartan and Chlorthalidone. It is used to treat high blood pressure. Azilsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB).

Together, Zolahart CT 40 Tablet helps treat high blood pressure.
