Product introduction
Cilidin-CH Tablet is a combination of medicines used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It also helps to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.
Cilidin-CH Tablet should be taken with food, preferably in the morning, to avoid frequent urination at night. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor. Even if you feel well, do not stop this medicine on your own because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. If you stop taking it, your condition may get worse. Keeping active with regular exercise, reducing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. Follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medicine.
Glucose intolerance, ankle swelling, headache, tiredness, and decreased potassium levels are some common side effects of this medicine. Consult your doctor if any of these bother you, or get worse, or do not go away. Drink plenty of fluids while taking medicine to overcome muscle weakness, dry mouth, and extreme thirst. Dizziness or headache may occur due to low blood pressure, hence rise slowly from the sitting position or avoid driving.
Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor for advice before taking this medicine. You also need to tell your doctor what other medicines you are taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions. You should have your blood pressure, kidney function, level of electrolytes, and blood sugar level checked regularly to make sure that this medicine is working properly.

How Cilidin-CH Tablet works
Cilidin-CH Tablet is a combination of two medicines: cilnidipine and chlorthalidone. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body by increasing the amount of urine produced. Over time, it also works by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.
