Cetanil 20mg Tablet contains cilnidipine (20 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Blocks Calcium Channels: Cilnidipine blocks what are known as L-type and N-type calcium channels in your body's vascular smooth muscle cells. These cells are present in the walls of your blood vessels.

• Reduces Blood Pressure: By blocking these calcium channels, cilnidipine helps decrease the resistance in your peripheral blood vessels (the small arteries and arterioles). This action effectively lowers high blood pressure.

• Suppresses Norepinephrine Release: Another action of cilnidipine is that it can suppress the release of norepinephrine. This hormone can constrict blood vessels, raising blood pressure. By suppressing its release, cilnidipine helps further manage hypertension.
