Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when single-drug therapy is insufficient; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events associated with uncontrolled BP

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II effects. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker (L/N-type) that dilates arteries and reduces vascular resistance, lowering blood pressure.

Take as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet whole with water. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

Dizziness, headache, flushing, ankle/foot swelling (edema), fatigue, nausea, palpitations

May cause dizziness; use caution while driving initially. Monitor blood pressure, kidney function and potassium. Use with caution in dehydration/low BP, kidney artery narrowing, heart failure. Not recommended in pregnancy; avoid during breastfeeding unless advised. Seek help for swelling of face/lips (angioedema) or severe hypotension.

Potassium supplements/salt substitutes, potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone/eplerenone), NSAIDs (ibuprofen/diclofenac) may reduce effect and affect kidneys, lithium (toxicity risk), other antihypertensives (additive low BP), grapefruit juice may increase cilnidipine-related effects

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
