Uses of Cilnikem Ct 6.25

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Benefits of Cilnikem Ct 6.25

In High blood pressure
Cilnikem Ct relaxes the muscle in the walls of your arteries so blood flows with less pressure. Keeping blood pressure down protects you from stroke, heart attack and kidney damage over the years.
In Angina
Cilnikem Ct widens the vessels that supply the heart and eases its workload, so you get fewer episodes of chest pain and can do more before pain comes on.
In Heart failure
Cilnikem Ct clears the fluid that collects in the lungs and legs when the heart is weak, so breathing is easier and the swelling in your ankles goes down.
In Fluid retention
Cilnikem Ct makes you pass more urine so that trapped fluid leaves the body, relieving swelling and the heaviness and discomfort that go with it.

How Cilnikem Ct 6.25 works

CILNIKEM CT 10MG/6.25MG 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.

How to take Cilnikem Ct 6.25

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. CILNIKEM CT 10MG/6.25MG TABLET should be taken with or after food.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of CILNIKEM CT 10MG/6.25MG TABLET, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a severe fall in blood pressure and a dangerously slow or irregular heartbeat. It can cause severe dehydration, a sharp fall in blood pressure and dangerous salt imbalances. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Warnings and precautions

Ankle swelling is the commonest reason people stop this medicine — tell your doctor, as there are ways to manage it. Tell your doctor if your chest pain becomes more frequent or more severe after starting. Swollen, tender or overgrown gums should be reported; good brushing and regular dental care reduce the risk. Take it in the morning so that passing urine does not disturb your sleep. Your doctor will check your salts and kidney function with blood tests — do not skip them. Report muscle cramps, marked weakness, confusion or an irregular heartbeat; these can be signs your potassium or sodium has fallen. In hot weather or during an illness with vomiting or loose motions, tell your doctor — you may become dehydrated quickly.

Do not take Cilnikem Ct if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with very low blood pressure or with severe narrowing of the aortic valve. Not for people who are unable to pass urine, or who are severely dehydrated.

Interactions with other medicines

Grapefruit juice raises the level of some of these medicines in the blood — avoid it. Tell your doctor about other blood pressure medicines, and about simvastatin in particular. Anti-inflammatory painkillers blunt the effect and can strain the kidneys. Lithium and digoxin levels are affected; tell your doctor if you take either. Potassium-sparing types must not be combined with potassium supplements without supervision.

How to store Cilnikem Ct 6.25

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
