Cilnidipine
Description
Cilma 10 is a calcium channel blocker for treating high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood, and reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. It may also be prescribed to prevent angina (chest pain related to heart conditions).
Benefits
Cilma 10 helps lower blood pressure and prevent heart disease, strokes, and kidney complications. It has a protective effect on the kidneys and is associated with fewer side effects, such as swelling and palpitations, than other calcium channel blockers. It is effective in improving blood circulation and reducing stress on the heart.
Ingredients
Each tablet contains 10mg of Cilnidipine, which belongs to the dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker class.
Uses and Doses
Cilma 10 is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and is sometimes prescribed for angina prevention. The recommended adult dose is 5-10mg once daily, which may be increased to 20mg daily if necessary. It can be taken with or without food but should be taken simultaneously daily.
Side Effects
Common side effects include fatigue, dizziness, sleepiness, headache, flushing, nausea, swelling, palpitations, abdominal pain, and edema. Rare but serious side effects include hypotension, increased heart rate, chest pain, liver dysfunction, and gingival hyperplasia. If any severe reactions occur, seek medical help immediately.
How to Use
Swallow the tablet whole with water without chewing or crushing. Take it at the same time daily for the best results. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue as usual. Do not double the dose.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Cilma 10 should be used with caution during pregnancy and lactation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use, as its safety in pregnancy has not been fully established.
Precautions and Warnings
Patients with hypotension, heart failure, liver disease, or poor cardiac function should use Cilma 10 with caution. Sudden withdrawal may worsen angina symptoms. If ischemic chest pain occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
Safety Information
Avoid combining Cilma 10 with other antihypertensive medications, such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampicin, erythromycin, or cimetidine, without medical supervision. It may interfere with blood sugar levels and insulin response. Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended.
Indications
