Cilamet XL 10/50 Tablet ER

Product Overview
Cilamet XL 10/50 Tablet ER is prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two active ingredients that work together to control blood pressure effectively, especially when a single medication is insufficient. By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.

This medication can be taken at any time during the day, preferably with food, and it’s important to take it consistently at the same time each day. Continue using Cilamet XL 10/50 Tablet ER as directed by your healthcare provider, even if you feel well. Since hypertension often has no symptoms, stopping the medication without medical advice may worsen your condition. Along with medication, lifestyle changes like regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and a balanced diet can support blood pressure control. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.

Possible side effects include headache, swelling in the ankles, a slower heart rate, and nausea. Some people may also experience dizziness; avoid driving or operating machinery until you understand how the medication affects you. Elevating your legs while seated can help reduce swelling. Your doctor may monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels during treatment.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Also, make sure to tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart-related conditions.
