cilacar

Cilacar 20mg Tablet 10s is primarily used to control blood pressure. It operates through dual mechanisms: relaxing blood vessels and managing stress-related chemicals to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.

Cilnidipine blocks calcium entry into blood vessels, reducing their tightness and allowing easier blood flow, which lowers blood pressure.  It also interferes with the release of norepinephrine, a stress-related chemical, that prevents blood pressure spikes during stressful situations.

Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dose and duration.  Take this medication with or without food but at a consistent time each day for better results.

Swallow the tablet whole, without chewing, crushing, or breaking it.

Be aware of the potential decrease in blood pressure.  Move slowly when transitioning from sitting or lying to standing positions to avoid dizziness or fainting.

Individuals with heart conditions like heart failure or severe aortic stenosis should use cilnidipine cautiously and remain under close medical supervision.

Keep your healthcare provider informed about any other medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking.

Possible side effects include headache, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, edema (swelling), abdominal pain, rash, muscle pain, eye pain, tremors, and decreased blood pressure. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.  However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule.

 Do not take a double dose For guidance on managing missed doses, consult your doctor.
