Cilacar 20 Tablet

Cilacar 20 Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and prevents heart attack and stroke. It is also given for conditions such as heart failure, chronic kidney disease and angina. This tablet contains cilnidipine, a 4th generation calcium channel blocker, which works by widening blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. It helps relieve symptoms of hypertension and improves how well the heart pumps blood.

Cilacar 20 Tablet should be taken as advised by your doctor. You can take it once a day with or without food. Depending on your medical condition, you might be prescribed this medicine in combination with other antihypertensive agents. To prevent adverse effects, take it precisely as per your doctor’s instructions.

Side effects of Cilacar 20 Tablet include nausea, headache, edema, diarrhoea, slight weakness, and flushing. They typically last for a short period and usually go away on their own. Contact your healthcare provider if the problems persist or worsen.

Before taking Cilacar 20 Tablet, discuss with your doctor if you have any of the following conditions: aortic stenosis, unstable angina, cardiogenic shock, congestive heart failure, liver diseases, kidney failures or hypersensitivity (allergy) to calcium channel blockers such as amlodipine and cilnidipine. Generally, this drug is considered safe for most people.

Cilacar 20 Tablet is an antihypertensive that reduces blood pressure. It is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes. This medicine is prescribed for conditions such as heart failure (heart unable to pump blood properly), chronic kidney disease and angina (reduced blood flow to the heart resulting in chest pain).

Cilacar 20 Tablet contains cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker that effectively lowers blood pressure. Hypertension (High blood pressure), when not treated, can cause damage to vital organs like the brain, heart and kidneys. Cilnidipine prevents this damage and reduces the chances of heart complications like stroke (blockage or reduction of the blood supply to the brain) and coronary artery disease (buildup of plaque in the vessels that supply blood to the heart) in the elderly population.

Cilacar 20 Tablet contains cilnidipine, which belongs to a class of antihypertensives called dihydropyridine calcium antagonists aka calcium channel blockers. It blocks calcium making the blood vessels relax and widen, which improves blood flow and decreases pressure.

Cilnidipine acts on two calcium channels to exert its effect: L-type calcium channels present in the blood vessels and N-type calcium channels present in the nerves. It works by blocking the entry of calcium ions into the smooth muscles of the heart and blood vessels. When calcium ions do not enter, the smooth muscles fail to contract. This results in the blood vessels widening, lowering the blood pressure.
