It contains Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, which widens the blood vessels, and increases supply to the heart, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the workload on the heart. Also, it 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. It may cause common side effects such as sore back, diarrhoea, congested feeling, spinning sensation, soreness in the sinus. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
