About Cilnaren 20 Tablet 10

Cilnaren 20 Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure in adults, helping to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney damage linked to long-term hypertension.

It contains cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Take it as prescribed, and continue even when you feel well, as blood pressure control needs to be ongoing.

Reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting alcohol help support better blood pressure control alongside this medicine.

Tell your doctor about any liver problems, heart failure, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, before starting this medicine. Report troublesome ankle swelling, marked dizziness, flushing or a fast heartbeat.
