Cilacar 10 Tablet

Cilacar 10 Tablet is a medication primarily prescribed for managing high blood pressure (hypertension). It falls under the group of medicines called calcium channel blockers, which help reduce blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. By keeping blood pressure under control, it lowers the risk of serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Your doctor may prescribe Cilacar 10 Tablet alone or alongside other medicines depending on the severity of your condition. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day to get consistent results. Do not stop using the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you start feeling better, as hypertension usually doesn’t cause obvious symptoms, and stopping abruptly may worsen your condition. Along with taking the medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight control can improve its effectiveness.

Some common side effects include tiredness, dizziness, sleepiness, flushing, headache, mild swelling in the feet or ankles, and palpitations. These are usually temporary and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if they persist or become bothersome, you should seek medical advice. Compared to some other medicines in the same category, Cilacar 10 Tablet is known to cause less severe swelling and has shown a protective effect on kidney health.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any liver, kidney, or heart-related issues you may have. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before taking this medicine. It’s also important to let your doctor know about other medicines you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended to ensure the treatment is working effectively.

This medicine works by relaxing the blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the workload on the heart, which helps in maintaining a stable blood pressure level.
