Cilez-10

Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. Here are a few key points about Cilnidipine:

Mechanism of Action: Cilnidipine blocks the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.

Dosage: The typical dose for adults is 10mg once daily, but the dose can be adjusted based on the patient’s response and the prescribing doctor’s judgment.

Side Effects: Common side effects include dizziness, flushing, headache, and swelling of the ankles or feet. It’s essential to report any severe or unusual side effects to a healthcare provider.

Precautions: Patients with certain conditions like severe heart disease, liver impairment, or low blood pressure should use Cilnidipine with caution. Always follow the healthcare provider’s advice regarding its use.

Interactions: Cilnidipine can interact with other medications, so it’s important to inform the healthcare provider of all the medications being taken, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
