Cinod 10 Tablet

Overview
Cinod 10 Tablet is prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the group of calcium channel blockers that help reduce blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. This action helps lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Cinod 10 may be given alone or combined with other medications depending on your condition. It can be taken at any time, with or without food, but it’s recommended to take it consistently at the same time each day. Continue the medication as directed by your healthcare provider, even if you feel fine. Since high blood pressure often shows no symptoms, stopping treatment abruptly can worsen your condition.

In addition to medication, maintaining an active lifestyle through regular exercise, healthy eating, and weight management is important for controlling blood pressure. Always follow your doctor’s guidance while on this medication.

Common Side Effects
Fatigue, swelling of the feet, drowsiness, dizziness, flushing, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), and headaches are some of the common side effects. Most patients find these symptoms manageable, and they tend to improve over time. Notably, swelling and palpitations are less severe compared to other drugs in the same category. Research also indicates that Cinod 10 offers protective benefits for kidney health.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this tablet. It’s also important to disclose any other medications you are taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart conditions. Regular blood pressure monitoring is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
