Cilacar M 10mg/50mg Tablet

Cilacar M 10 mg/50 mg tablets contain cilnidipine and metoprolol as active components. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that blocks calcium channels in blood vessels and the heart, helping to lower blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that decreases heart rate and reduces the force of contraction. Together, these medications help control high blood pressure and prevent angina, heart attack, and stroke. The combination of two medications with complementary mechanisms of action permits lower doses of each drug, which may reduce the risk of side effects associated with higher doses of a single drug. Using lower doses may diminish the likelihood of adverse effects.
