Cilamet Xl 10/25 mg Tablet contains a combination of anti-hypertensive medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Cilamet Xl 10/25 mg Tablet is used when a single medication is ineffective in treating blood pressure. Besides this, lowering blood pressure also protects the heart from a future heart attack. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a long-term force of the blood against the arteries that may lead to various heart diseases. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries.

Cilamet Xl 10/25 mg Tablet contains Metoprolol and Cilnidipine. Metoprolol plays a vital role in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. It helps slow down the heart rate, making it easier to pump more blood around your body and lower blood pressure. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that blocks the heart's blood vessel's calcium channel activities. As a result, the blood vessels widen, and the heart's supply increases, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the heart's workload. Collectively, both help reduce blood pressure and reduce the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future.

Hypertension: The blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels, leading to hypertension. High blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats or pumps out blood. Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between the heartbeats. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) by a blood pressure monitor called a sphygmomanometer. Some of the symptoms are headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, altered vision, chest pain, weakness, and shortness of breath. However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
