Composition

Cilnidipine (10 Mg) + Telmisartan (40 Mg)

Cortel LN Tablet is primarily utilised to manage hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. It belongs to a group of medications called antihypertensives and is a combination medicine.

In addition to its main purpose, it serves patients who are likely to require multiple medicines to meet their blood pressure goals. The tablet can help control blood pressure effectively, especially in adults whose pressure does not respond adequately to either of the individual ingredients alone.

You should take this medicine as per your doctor's advice. Before you start taking this medicine, it’s important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Ensure you continue this medication for the period recommended by your doctor for the best results.

Cortel LN Tablet is used for managing the following health conditions:

Management of essential hypertension in adults
Use as initial therapy for patients likely to need multiple medicines to control their blood pressure
Blood pressure regulation in patients inadequately controlled on either cilnidipine or telmisartan monotherapy.

Directions for Use of Cortel Ln Tablet 15

Take Cortel LN Tablet as follows:

Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.
Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.
Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Cortel LN Tablet is taken orally.

The common side effects of Cortel LN Tablet may include:

Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea
Peripheral oedema: This refers to swelling in the hands or lower legs.
Nasopharyngitis: This is an inflammation of the nose and throat which may cause a runny nose, sore throat, and sneezing.
Back pain

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve by discontinuing the use of Cortel LN Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea: Follow the dietary recommendations provided by your doctor.
Peripheral oedema: If you notice swelling in your hands or lower legs after taking this medicine, inform your doctor immediately.

Cortel LN Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to manage high blood pressure:

Cilnidipine (10 mg): This ingredient is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It works by blocking the inflow of calcium ions into your heart and blood vessel cells. This makes your blood vessels relax and widen, lowering your peripheral vascular resistance and reducing your blood pressure.
Telmisartan (40 mg): This component is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks angiotensin II from binding with receptors in your vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland. By inhibiting these activities of angiotensin II, telmisartan decreases vascular resistance and ultimately reduces your blood pressure.

These two ingredients work in tandem through different mechanisms to control high blood pressure effectively.

Pregnancy

Cortel LN Tablet is contraindicated during your second and third trimesters of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, discuss this with your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised if you are lactating. Always consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Alcohol

Caution is advised while consuming alcohol when taking this medicine. Alcohol may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect of the Cortel LN Tablet. It's best to discuss this with your doctor.

Liver

Cortel LN Tablet should be used with caution if you have liver problems, as one of its ingredients, cilnidipine, is extensively metabolized in the liver. It is not recommended for severe liver diseases.

Kidney

Caution is advised if you have any history of kidney problems before using Cortel LN Tablet. Do consult your doctor in such cases.

Using Machines & Driving

Cortel LN Tablet may cause side effects like dizziness or fatigue which may affect your ability to concentrate and react. Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you are allergic to cilnidipine, telmisartan, or any other components of Cortel LN Tablet, avoid taking it. Consult your doctor for alternative medications.

Children

Cortel LN Tablet should not be given to children under 18 years of age without medical supervision. Always verify with your doctor before giving any medication to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Cortel LN Tablet under medical supervision as they might be more susceptible to its side effects and may have liver and kidney issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Cortel LN Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

NSAIDs: Medicines like ibuprofen and naproxen may weaken the blood pressure-lowering effect of Cortel LN Tablet and heighten the risk of kidney problems.
Potassium-sparing diuretics and potassium supplements: These medications can increase the risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalaemia) when taken with Cortel LN Tablet.
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole and clarithromycin: These can increase the levels of cilnidipine in your body, which may cause or worsen side effects.
Strong CYP3A4 inducers like rifampin and phenytoin: These can decrease cilnidipine levels, which may reduce its effectiveness.

Drug-Food Interactions

No specific food interactions have been reported with Cortel LN Tablet. However, it's always wise to check with your doctor about possible interactions with foods you regularly consume.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Cortel LN Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Renal Impairment/Disease: The medicine could worsen renal function, especially in patients suffering from severe kidney disease.
Hepatic Impairment/Disease: Owing to cilnidipine's extensive metabolism in the liver, this medicine should be used cautiously in patients who have liver problems.
Biliary Obstructive Disorders: As both cilnidipine and telmisartan are primarily excreted via biliary excretion, this medicine should not be used in patients with biliary obstructive disorders.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Cortel LN Tablet should be taken as directed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on individual factors such as the seriousness of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It's crucial to stick to the prescribed dosage and not increase it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Cortel LN Tablet, you might feel dizzy or experience a slower heart rate. In such cases, it's essential to inform your doctor about the situation.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Cortel LN Tablet, take it as soon as you recall. But if it's nearly time for your next dose, leave out the missed one and continue with your regular dosage schedule. Don't increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Cortel LN Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays between 15°C and 30°C.
Keep away from direct light and heat sources.
Ensure the medicine is kept sealed in its original packaging until it's time to take it.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Make sure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

Limit your intake of high-sodium foods. Too much salt can increase your blood pressure, counteracting the benefits of Cortel LN Tablet.
Regular physical activity can help manage your blood pressure. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week, like walking or cycling.
