Cilnaren 20 Tablet is an effective medicine used primarily for the management of hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure. This condition, if unmanaged, can result in severe complications such as cardiovascular disease or stroke. This tablet is a calcium channel blocker, modulating calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells, facilitating vasodilation and reducing blood pressure.

Cilnaren 20 Tablet contains cilnidipine (20 mg), and it operates through several mechanisms:
• Inhibition of Calcium Influx: Cilnidipine blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells. This action reduces contraction and promotes relaxation.
• Vasodilation: Due to reduced calcium influx, blood vessels experience an increased lumen diameter, facilitating improved blood flow.
• Blood Pressure Reduction: With decreased vascular resistance, the heart faces less opposition during blood circulation, thus lowering systemic blood pressure.
• Cardiovascular Protection: By diminishing the cardiac workload, this tablet aids in the prevention of cardiovascular events such as angina, heart attacks, and strokes.
