Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet contains the following components:

Cilnidipine (20 mg): It is classified as a calcium channel blocker. It exerts its action by affecting the muscle cells in the walls of arteries. By relaxing these muscle cells, cilnidipine widens the arteries (blood vessels), enhancing blood flow and increasing oxygen supply to the heart.
Telmisartan (40 mg): It operates by blocking the hormone angiotensin II in the body. It is responsible for narrowing blood vessels, which can lead to high blood pressure. By inhibiting the effects of angiotensin II, telmisartan helps prevent this narrowing of blood vessels and effectively lowers blood pressure.

Alcohol

Avoid the consumption of alcohol while taking this tablet, as it may be unsafe and cause adverse effects.

Liver

Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet must be used cautiously in patients with liver diseases and other related conditions. A dose adjustment might be needed.

Interactions of Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet 10

Drug-Drug Interactions

Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet can interact with medications, including:

Anti-psychotic medications such as risperidone, quetiapine: Cilnidipine and telmisartan can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of antipsychotics, potentially leading to excessive drops in blood pressure.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (such as enalapril, lisinopril): Increased risk of high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). Telmisartan, combined with ACE inhibitors, can reduce blood pressure further, but also increase potassium retention, leading to irregular heart rhythms.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen: Decreased efficacy of telmisartan. NSAIDs can reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects of telmisartan and may impair kidney function when taken together for a long time.
Narcotics such as morphine: Enhanced blood pressure-lowering effect when combined with this medicine. Combination can cause dizziness, extreme drowsiness, and fainting due to excessive blood vessel relaxation, increasing the risk of severe hypotension.
Antidepressants such as paroxetine: Increased risk of dizziness and low blood pressure. Paroxetine can enhance the effects of cilnidipine, potentially leading to excessive drops in blood pressure and increased side effects like lightheadedness.

Drug-Food Interactions

Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet can interact with foods, including:

Grapefruit juice: It counteracts this medicine by raising blood pressure.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet can interact with diseases, including:

Metabolic acidosis: Telmisartan can increase potassium levels, which may worsen metabolic acidosis, where excess acid builds up in the body. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, confusion, and irregular heartbeat. Patients with metabolic acidosis should use this medication cautiously under medical supervision.
Peripheral oedema: Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes blood vessels, which can sometimes cause fluid retention and increase peripheral oedema. Patients with swelling in their legs or feet should be monitored closely, and dose adjustments may be necessary.
Diabetes: This medicine can affect blood glucose levels.

Daily Dose

The recommended daily dose of Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet is taken as directed by your doctor. Kindly consult your doctor for dosage information.

Over Dose

If you or someone else takes an excessive amount of the medicine by accident, it is essential to take immediate medical attention from your doctor or nearby hospital. The overdose symptoms include confusion, nausea, stomach ache, vomiting, etc.

Missed Dose

If you forgot to take Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If the time for the next dosage is close, skipping the missed one and resuming your regular dosage pattern is recommended. Only increase your dosage after consulting your doctor.

Store Cidnitab T 20/40 Tablet at room temperature.

Keep the tablet away from the reach of children.
Do not use the tablet after the expiry date has passed.

Individuals managing hypertension and heart conditions should consider lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments such as incorporating a low-sodium, low-carbohydrate, and low-fat diet alongside this combination.
People with hypertension are continuously at risk of heart attacks and strokes. It is crucial to establish a routine for monitoring blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitoring device or through regular visits to the doctor.
Proper education on recognising the signs and symptoms of heart attacks and strokes is essential. This knowledge can lead to quicker interventions, minimising complications and ultimately promoting a faster and more complete recovery.
