Cilnidipine (10mg) & Telmisartan (40mg)

About Cilnidipine (10mg) & Telmisartan (40mg)

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a silent but dangerous condition that affects millions of people worldwide. When left uncontrolled, it increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and heart failure. Effective hypertension management requires medicines that not only lower blood pressure but also protect vital organs from long-term complications.

Cidinitab T40, containing Cilnidipine 10 mg & Telmisartan 40 mg Tablets, is one such advanced therapy. It combines two effective classes of antihypertensive drugs to provide comprehensive and sustained blood pressure control while safeguarding the heart and kidneys.
 

What is Cidinitab T40?

Cidinitab T40 is a prescription-only medication designed for the treatment of essential hypertension. It is a fixed-dose combination of:

Cilnidipine 10 mg  a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that relaxes blood vessels and reduces vascular resistance.

Telmisartan 40 mg  an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents narrowing of blood vessels and decreases strain on the heart.

This dual mechanism provides enhanced efficacy compared to monotherapy, making Cidinitab T40 particularly effective in patients who do not achieve optimal blood pressure control with a single medication. 

How Does Cidinitab T40 Work?

1. Role of Cilnidipine (CCB)

Cilnidipine blocks calcium channels in the vascular smooth muscle, leading to:

• Relaxation of arteries and arterioles

• Reduction in peripheral resistance

• Lowering of systolic and diastolic blood pressure

• Inhibition of sympathetic overactivity, which also reduces kidney strain

2. Role of Telmisartan (ARB)

Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone responsible for blood vessel constriction. This results in:

• Vasodilation (widening of blood vessels)

• Reduced load on the heart

• Protection against hypertension-induced kidney damage

3. The Combined Effect

Together, Cilnidipine and Telmisartan provide:

• Potent and long-lasting blood pressure reduction

• Protection against heart disease and stroke

• Kidney preservation in patients with hypertension 

Uses of Cidinitab T40 (Cilnidipine 10 mg & Telmisartan 40 mg Tablets)

Cidinitab T40 is prescribed for:

• Essential hypertension  long-term management of high blood pressure

• Cardiovascular risk reduction  lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure

• Renal protection  particularly in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease

• Combination therapy  for patients who do not respond adequately to single-drug treatment
