The recently developed 'resummed' cPT is illustrated in the case of pseudoscalar meson decay constants. We try to get an estimate of the h decay constant, which is not well known from experiments, while using several ways, including the generalized cPT Lagrangian, to gather information beyond the standard next-to-leading order. We compare the results to published cPT predictions, our own standard cPT calculations and available phenomenological estimates.
