CompositionCilny 10 Tablet is used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and protect the kidneys in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease. By keeping blood pressure under control, it significantly reduces the long-term risk of heart attacks and strokes. This medication is particularly beneficial because it lowers blood pressure without causing the rapid heartbeat often seen with other similar treatments.
This treatment contains Cilnidipine, a unique ""dual-action"" calcium channel blocker. It works by blocking both L-type and N-type calcium channels. This action relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, allowing them to widen, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart and kidneys while simultaneously reducing the release of stress hormones like norepinephrine.
This tablet should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to continue taking it even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Consult your healthcare provider if you notice swelling in your ankles or feet (edema) or if you experience sudden dizziness when standing up.
