The side effects of Cilnaren T Tablet may include:
• Diarrhoea
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
Cilnaren T Tablet comprises two active agents:
• Cilnidipine (10 mg): As a calcium channel blocker, cilnidipine inhibits calcium ions from entering vascular smooth muscle cells, resulting in the relaxation and dilation of blood vessels, thereby alleviating pressure on the cardiovascular system.
• Telmisartan (40 mg): This angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) impedes the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone responsible for vasoconstriction. By blocking this hormone, telmisartan facilitates blood vessel relaxation and lowers blood pressure, thereby improving circulation and reducing the heart's workload.
