Clindinol-TM 10mg/40mg Tablet

Clindinol-TM 10mg/40mg Tablet – Cilnidipine with Telmisartan for Hypertension

Clindinol-TM from Knoll Pharmaceuticals Ltd combines two blood pressure medicines that work by different routes: Cilnidipine 10 mg, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, and Telmisartan 40 mg, an angiotensin receptor blocker that blocks a hormone which would otherwise narrow blood vessels. Together they are prescribed when blood pressure has not been fully controlled on a single medicine. Cilnidipine is also associated with kidney-protective effects, an added consideration in patients with hypertension and early kidney involvement. Strip of 10 tablets.
