For how long do I need to take Cilidin O? Is it safe to take long term?
You may have to take Cilidin O life long. Cilidin O controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking it even if your blood pressure is well controlled. Cilidin O is generally considered safe to be taken for a long term. In some cases, long-term use may adversely affect the kidneys and the kidneys may not function as they should. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe regular blood tests to check urea, creatinine and potassium levels to keep a track of how well your kidneys are working.
