About Cylnida-Q Tablet

CHLORTHALIDONE+CILNIDIPINE+OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL is a combination of blood pressure-lowering medicine, water pills, and novel calcium channel blockers primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart diseases, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

CHLORTHALIDONE+CILNIDIPINE+OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL is a combination of three medicines, namely: Olmesartan, Cilnidipine, and Chlorthalidone together help in lowering raised blood pressure effectively. Olmesartan works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Cilnidipine blocks the activities of the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Chlorthalidone (diuretic) removes extra water, certain electrolytes from the body and efficiently reduces blood pressure. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.
