Cilacar 20 Tablet contains Cilnidipine (20 mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibition of Calcium Ion Influx: Cilnidipine acts by blocking the influx of calcium ions into your vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells. These are different types of cells found in your blood vessels and heart.
• Relaxation of Blood Vessels: Cilnidipine blocks calcium ion influx and blood vessels relax and widen. This process is known medically as vasodilation.
• Decrease in Blood Pressure: As blood vessels relax, there is less resistance against which the heart has to pump blood, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.
• Prevention of Cardiovascular Complications: Cilnidipine helps prevent complications such as angina, heart attacks, and strokes by reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow.
