Myotan CN 40/10 Tablet is an anti-hypertensive medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Azilsartan, Medoxomil, and Cilnidipine. Azilsartan Medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin; this helps relax the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels; this reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Together, this medication helps lower raised blood pressure.
