Check the dosage form and strength:

Uses

Cilacar C Tablet is used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). The detailed uses of Cilacar C Tablet are as follows:

  • Lowers high blood pressure: Cilacar C Tablet works by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess salt and water from the body, which together reduce blood pressure.

Medicinal Benefits

Cilacar C Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Cilnidipine and Chlorthalidone. Cilnidipine blocks the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. This effect widens the blood vessels, lowering the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels. It decreases the workload on the heart. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic or water pill. It acts by getting rid of excess water and salts in the body by increasing urination, thereby reducing blood pressure. It helps to reduce oedema (fluid buildup) and to swell associated with hypertension. Together, Cilacar C Tablet can effectively reduce blood pressure and the complications associated with this condition, such as heart attack.
