Cilacar TC 6.25 Tablet

Cilacar TC 6.25 Tablet is a combination medicine used for the management of high blood pressure when a single drug is not effective. By lowering blood pressure, it helps decrease the chances of serious heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.

This medicine should be taken along with food, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose depends on your health condition and how well you respond to the treatment. Try to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the body. Since this medicine contains a diuretic, it can increase urination, so it is best not to take it close to bedtime to avoid disturbing your sleep. Even if you feel fine, continue taking it regularly because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping it suddenly may increase your risk of complications like stroke or heart attack.

Some commonly reported side effects include swelling of the ankles, tiredness, headache, dizziness, and changes in taste. You may also experience dryness of the mouth, muscle weakness, or thirst due to fluid loss. Drinking enough water can help reduce these symptoms. If any side effects persist or become severe, consult your doctor.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, mention any other medications you are taking, especially those used for heart disease or blood pressure. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, electrolytes, and blood sugar levels is important while using this medicine.

Uses
This medicine is used to manage high blood pressure and reduce the risk of future complications such as heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage. It works by relaxing blood vessels and helping the heart pump blood more efficiently, while also removing excess fluid from the body through increased urine production.

Most side effects are temporary and go away as your body adjusts to the treatment. However, if they continue or cause discomfort, consult your healthcare provider.
Common effects include:

• Swelling in the ankles or feet

How It Works
Cilacar TC 6.25 Tablet combines three active ingredients: Telmisartan, Cilnidipine, and Chlorthalidone. Telmisartan blocks certain natural substances that tighten blood vessels, Cilnidipine relaxes the vessel walls, and Chlorthalidone acts as a water pill, removing extra fluid and salt from the body. Together, they help control blood pressure effectively over time.
