About Cetanil O Tablet

Cetanil O Tablet belongs to the class of anti-hypertensives primarily taken for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It comprises Cilnidipine (calcium channel blocker) and olmesartan (angiotensin-II receptor antagonists). Hypertension is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it leads to heart diseases.   

Cetanil O Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: cilnidipine and olmesartan, prescribed to treat hypertension. Cilnidipine works by blocking the activities of the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. As a result, the blood vessels widen and supply to the heart increases, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the workload placed on the heart. Olmesartan works by blocking the action of certain substances that are responsible for tightening the blood vessels. It allows the blood to flow more smoothly and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it reduces the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
