Treatment of High Blood Pressure
Description:
Cilnidipine 10mg + Telmisartan 40mg is a fixed-dose combination antihypertensive medication used to manage moderate to severe high blood pressure. It combines two powerful agents:
Cilnidipine is a novel dual L-type and N-type calcium channel blocker that dilates blood vessels and also reduces sympathetic nerve activity, offering smooth and sustained blood pressure control.
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents vasoconstriction and sodium retention by blocking angiotensin II, improving cardiovascular outcomes.
This combination provides complementary mechanisms for effective 24-hour blood pressure control with a lower incidence of side effects like pedal edema, and added kidney and heart protection.
Tags:
- Dual mechanism for comprehensive blood pressure control
- Reduces risk of cardiovascular events and stroke
- Less chance of swelling compared to traditional calcium channel blockers
- Kidney and vascular protection (especially from Telmisartan)
- Suitable for diabetic and elderly patients
- Once-daily dosing improves adherence
