Cilny 10 Tablet contains cilnidipine (10 mg), which acts in the body as follows:

• Calcium Channel Blocking: Cilnidipine works by blocking the movement of calcium into the smooth muscle cells lining small arteries and arterioles. Calcium is required for these vascular smooth muscles to contract.

• Vascular Relaxation: By decreasing calcium within these cells, cilnidipine relaxes and widens blood vessels. This makes it easier for blood to flow through them.

• Blood Pressure Reduction: The relaxation of blood vessels reduces peripheral vascular resistance – which is essentially the resistance that blood has to overcome to circulate through your body – thereby lowering your blood pressure.

• Selective Action: Cilnidipine acts selectively on the blood vessels with less effect on the heart. This avoids excessive lowering of blood pressure or a rapid increase in heart rate known as reflex tachycardia.
