Uses

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Medicinal Benefits

Cilsam-T Tablet is composed of Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, prescribed to treat hypertension. Cilnidipine blocks the activities of the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. As a result, the blood vessels widen, and supply to the heart increases, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the workload placed on the heart. Due to its calcium channel blocking nature it may be also prescribed for relieving the heart’s workload caused due to the heart attack or stroke. Telmisartan works by blocking the action of certain substances that are responsible for tightening the blood vessels. It allows the blood to flow more smoothly and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it reduces the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future. Additionally, it has a protective effect on the kidney, and in the condition of diabetes.
