An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that also helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
May be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications
Cilnidipine blocks the entry of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells, causing vasodilation and reducing peripheral resistance. Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. The combination provides a synergistic effect, enhancing blood pressure control.
