Cilnaren 5 Tablet contains cilnidipine (5 mg), which exerts its effects as follows:
• Inhibition of Calcium Ion Influx: Cilnidipine acts by blocking the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells of the vasculature, which is essential for muscle contraction.
• Vasodilation: By impeding calcium entry, cilnidipine facilitates the relaxation and dilation of blood vessels, resulting in reduced vascular resistance.
• Reduction of Blood Pressure: The vasodilatory effect reduces peripheral vascular resistance, thereby effectively lowering blood pressure.
• Decreased Cardiac Workload: The reduction in blood pressure diminishes the effort required by the heart to circulate blood, thereby decreasing cardiac workload, which is beneficial in preventing hypertension-related complications.
