Cilamet XL 10/25 Tablet ER

Product Overview
Cilamet XL 10/25 Tablet ER is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two active ingredients to effectively lower blood pressure, especially when a single medicine alone does not provide sufficient control. By reducing blood pressure, this medication helps lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.

You can take Cilamet XL 10/25 Tablet ER at any time of the day, preferably with food, and it is best to maintain a consistent schedule each day. Continue using this medication for the duration recommended by your healthcare provider, even if you feel well. Since high blood pressure often shows no symptoms, stopping the medicine without consulting your doctor could worsen your condition. Alongside medication, maintaining regular exercise, healthy weight, and a balanced diet will aid in controlling your blood pressure. Always follow your doctor’s guidance while on this treatment.

Common side effects may include headaches, swelling of the ankles, slower heart rate, and nausea. Dizziness may also occur, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you understand how the medicine affects you. To ease swelling, elevating your legs while sitting may help. Your doctor might require routine checks for blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels during treatment.

Before starting, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss with their healthcare provider before using this medication. Additionally, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart conditions.
