Product Description

Telmisartan 40 mg & Cilnidipine 10 mg Tablet IP is an antihypertensive medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the pressure of blood against the artery walls remains consistently elevated, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems if left untreated.

This tablet combines two complementary medicines:

• Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)
  

• Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker
  

Together, they help relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and lower blood pressure effectively.

Uses

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
  

• Reduction of cardiovascular risks such as heart attack and stroke
  
  

How it works

Telmisartan 40 mg & Cilnidipine 10 mg Tablet IP lowers blood pressure through two different mechanisms:

• Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing blood vessel narrowing and promoting vessel relaxation
  

• Cilnidipine blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, causing blood vessels to widen and improve circulation
  

The combined action results in sustained blood pressure control with improved vascular protection.

Benefits

• Effectively lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure
  

• The dual mechanism provides better control than single-drug therapy
  

• Helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage
  

• Convenient once-daily combination therapy
