Medicinal Benefits

Cilidin CH Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Cilnidipine and Chlorthalidone. Cilnidipine blocks the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. This effect widens the blood vessels lowering the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels. It decreases the workload on the heart. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic or water pill. It acts by getting rid of excess water and salts in the body by increasing urination, thereby reducing blood pressure. It helps to reduce edema (fluid buildup) and swelling associated with hypertension. Together, Cilidin CH Tablet can effectively reduce the blood pressure and the complications associated with this condition such as heart attack.
