Cilidin 5 Tablet 15 contains cilnidipine (5 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Blocks L-Type and N-Type Calcium Channels: Cilnidipine effectively blocks your body's L-type and N-type calcium channels. L-type calcium channels are found in the heart and blood vessels. Blocking these channels enables cilnidipine to relax and widen your blood vessels, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure.

• Suppresses Norepinephrine Release: The N-type calcium channels are found in the sympathetic nerve endings. Blocking these channels suppresses the release of norepinephrine, a hormone that can increase heart rate and blood pressure. This suppression provides an additional anti-hypertensive effect.

This dual action on both L-type and N-type calcium channels sets cilnidipine apart from other calcium channel blockers that only target L-type channels.
