Product Description:
ZEMDACIL® – 10mg contains Cilnidipine, a 4th-generation dual calcium channel blocker (L-type and N-type) used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It offers smooth and sustained blood pressure control with fewer side effects like ankle swelling compared to older calcium channel blockers. Cilnidipine also protects heart and kidney function, especially in diabetic and elderly hypertensive patients.
Key Benefits:
-
Effectively lowers and maintains stable blood pressure
-
Reduces risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage
-
Less risk of peripheral edema compared to conventional CCBs
-
Offers 24-hour control with once-daily dosing
-
Suitable for hypertensive patients with diabetes or proteinuria
How it works:
Cilnidipine blocks both L-type and N-type calcium channels in blood vessels and sympathetic nerves. This leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), reducing peripheral resistance and lowering blood pressure, while also inhibiting excess sympathetic nerve activity, offering additional heart and renal protection.
