Cilacar M 10/25 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Cilacar M 10/25 Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients:

• Cilnidipine (10 mg): Acts as a dual L/N-type calcium channel blocker, which prevents calcium from entering the muscle cells of blood vessels. This causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing resistance to blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

• Metoprolol Succinate (25 mg): Functions as a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, which means it blocks certain natural chemicals (such as adrenaline) from affecting the heart. This slows down heart rate, reduces the force of heart contractions, and lowers the amount of oxygen the heart needs to work properly.

• Store Cilacar M 10/25 Tablet 15 in a cool, dry place at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.

• Maintain it in its original packaging until use.

• Store out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the package.

• Dispose of unused medicine properly according to local guidelines.

• Reduce sodium intake by limiting processed foods, canned soups, and table salt, as high sodium consumption can worsen high blood pressure (hypertension) that this medicine helps manage.

• Maintain regular physical activity through moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, for 30 minutes most days, which helps lower blood pressure naturally and enhances the effectiveness of your blood pressure medication.
