Cilamet XL 10/50 Tablet is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients:

• Cilnidipine (10 mg): This ingredient is a calcium channel blocker. Its primary function is to inhibit the movement of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. The result is vasodilation, which means the relaxation of blood vessels, leading to decreased peripheral vascular resistance and ultimately lowering blood pressure. Additionally, cilnidipine inhibits the release of noradrenaline from nerve endings which further aids in reducing blood pressure.

• Metoprolol succinate (50 mg): Metoprolol succinate acts as a cardioselective beta1 adrenergic receptor blocking agent. It competes with adrenaline to bind to beta1 receptors in the heart, which helps in reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility (which means the force with which heart muscles contract), and cardiac output (the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute). By reducing the workload on the heart, metoprolol succinate contributes to lowering blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health.
