Here are frequently asked questions about CRESAR 3D 25 TAB by CIPLA LTD, a medication used to manage high blood pressure.

What is CRESAR 3D 25 TAB used for?

CRESAR 3D 25 TAB is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It also helps to control stable coronary artery disease, prevent chest pain during physical activity, reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications like heart attack and stroke, lower the workload on the heart, and regulate irregular heartbeats.

How does CRESAR 3D 25 TAB work?

This medicine is a combination of three active ingredients: Telmisartan (40 mg), Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg), and Metoprolol Succinate (25 mg). Telmisartan blocks a hormone (angiotensin II) that narrows blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen, which lowers blood pressure. Chlorthalidone acts as a diuretic, increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the body, thereby reducing blood volume and blood pressure. Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.

What is the usual dosage for CRESAR 3D 25 TAB?

The daily dose of CRESAR 3D 25 TAB should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Your dosage may vary based on your condition's severity, age, weight, and how your body responds to the medicine. It is important to never change your dosage without consulting your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day.

What are the possible side effects of CRESAR 3D 25 TAB?

Common side effects can include dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, and low blood pressure, which might make you feel lightheaded when standing up quickly. Other potential side effects are constipation, stomach upset, cold extremities, numbness of extremities, increased blood lipid levels, and a slow heart rate. Most side effects are temporary. If you experience persistent or worsening side effects, consult your doctor.

Is CRESAR 3D 25 TAB safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

CRESAR 3D 25 TAB is not recommended during pregnancy, especially after the first three months, as it can seriously harm the developing baby. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, you should inform your doctor immediately. For breastfeeding, caution is advised as the drug may pass into breast milk and potentially harm the baby. Consult your doctor to determine if the benefits outweigh the risks.

Can CRESAR 3D 25 TAB be taken with other medications?

CRESAR 3D 25 TAB can interact with other medicines. For instance, anti-diabetic medicines (like metformin, glimepiride, insulin) may have reduced effectiveness, requiring close monitoring of blood glucose. NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, diclofenac) may lessen its blood pressure-lowering effects. Digoxin levels might increase when taken concurrently. Co-administration with aliskiren is not recommended, especially in patients with diabetes or renal impairment. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

What precautions should be taken while using CRESAR 3D 25 TAB?

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes, circulation problems, asthma, thyroid disorder, or an adrenal gland tumor. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it can increase dizziness. Be cautious when driving or operating machinery due to possible dizziness. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can cause blood pressure to rise dangerously. Maintaining a low-salt, low-fat diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking are also recommended.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

How should CRESAR 3D 25 TAB be stored?
