Cilnifit 20Mg Tablet belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers, which are primarily taken for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. 

Cilnifit 20Mg Tablet contains Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker that acts by relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

Take Cilnifit 20Mg Tablet with or without food as prescribed by your doctor with a full glass of water. Cilnifit 20Mg Tablet may be prescribed alone or in combination with other blood pressure-lowering medicines, depending upon your blood pressure levels. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other anti-hypertensive medicine. You may have common side effects like headache, feeling exhausted and swollen ankles that usually resolve after some time. You must closely monitor your blood pressure if you have ever had a stroke or heart attack or are currently taking other blood pressure-lowering pills.
