Cilacar-M 10/25 Tablet ER

Cilacar-M 10/25 Tablet ER is a prescription medicine used to manage high blood pressure. It contains two active ingredients that work together to effectively control blood pressure, especially when a single drug is not sufficient. By lowering blood pressure, this medication helps reduce the chances of serious health issues like heart attacks and strokes in the future.

This medicine can be taken at any time of the day, preferably with meals, but it is important to take it at the same time daily for the best results. Continue using it for as long as your doctor recommends, even if you start to feel well, since hypertension often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication suddenly may worsen your condition. Along with taking this medicine, making lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a balanced diet can further help in controlling your blood pressure.

Some people may experience side effects such as headaches, swelling in the ankles, a slow heart rate, nausea, or dizziness. If you feel dizzy, avoid driving or doing tasks that need concentration until you know how the medicine affects you. Raising your legs while sitting can help reduce swelling. During treatment, your doctor may suggest regular check-ups to monitor your blood pressure, kidney health, blood sugar levels, and electrolytes.

Inform your doctor before starting this medicine if you have liver or kidney problems. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also seek medical advice before taking it. Make sure to share details about any other medications you are using, especially those for blood pressure or heart conditions.

Cilacar-M 10/25 Tablet ER helps by relaxing blood vessels, allowing smoother blood flow. It also reduces the effects of certain natural chemicals in the body that affect the heart and blood vessels, helping the heart beat more efficiently and at a steadier pace. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of complications such as heart failure, kidney problems, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues. Taking it consistently is crucial to keep blood pressure under control.

Common side effects include low blood pressure, skin rash, and abnormal levels of phosphorus in the blood. These usually improve as your body adjusts to the medicine, but if they persist or become severe, consult your doctor.

Always take the tablet exactly as prescribed. Swallow it whole with water and avoid crushing or chewing it. It should be taken with food to enhance its effectiveness.

Avoid alcohol while using this medicine as it can increase side effects like dizziness or excessive lowering of blood pressure. It is not considered safe during pregnancy unless specifically advised by a doctor after weighing the risks and benefits. Information about its use during breastfeeding is limited, so medical consultation is necessary.

If you have liver problems, the medicine should be used cautiously, and dose adjustments may be required. Its use in people with kidney issues should be strictly guided by a healthcare provider.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing routine. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed tablet.
