CILOGARD 10 MG

Description

Cilogard 10mg Tablet is a prescription antihypertensive medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains Cilnidipine 10mg, a calcium channel blocker (CCB) used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension).

Cilnidipine works by blocking calcium channels in blood vessel walls, which relaxes and widens the arteries. This reduces blood pressure, improves blood flow to vital organs, and decreases the workload on the heart. By controlling hypertension, Cilogard 10mg helps prevent serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
