CTD L 12.5/50 Tablet is a mixture of Chlorthalidone and Losartan, both of which are antihypertensive medications. CTD L 12.5/50 Tablet is used to treat mild to moderate high blood pressure in adults when monotherapy is ineffective.

High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is a medical condition in which the force of the blood exerted against the artery walls remains very high, causing severe damage to the blood vessels supplying several organs, resulting in heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or even blindness.
