Brief Answer:
calcium channel blocker
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since your blood pressure is 161/89 mm Hg, you need to take cilnidipine 5 mg tablet once daily in the morning after food as it is high. Please request your doctor to write a prescription for the same.
You can take the tablet in whole, with a glass of water. To achieve the best possible results, take your dose at the same time each day.
It is a calcium channel blocker prescribed for patients at risk of vascular damage caused by hypertension.
It helps to control high blood pressure by reduce the functioning of the body`s angiotensin receptors and also reduces plaque formation in blood.
Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising, are often the best treatment for plaque formation.
