HI

Thanks for posting your query .

Cilacar is a better medicine when compared to Amlodepine but it's efficacy in reducing your Microproteinuria ( Microalbuminuria is a better term ) is doubtful . There are other anti hypertensive medications which are very effective in reducing your Microproteinuria . These medications come under the class of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers .
Kindly ask your doctor for a prescription of this .

Elevated Serum Creatinine levels and elevated Serum Potassium levels are contra-indications for the above mentioned drugs . Kindly ask your doctor to test these before starting medications .
I find this answer helpful
