Prescription Required.Why?
A calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that also relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
High blood pressure (hypertension)
To reduce the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the heart muscle)
Eritel Ln Hs 80mg Tab (Cilnidipine + Telmisartan) work together to lower blood pressure. Cilnidipine blocks calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen. This reduces the resistance to blood flow, lowering blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels. By blocking angiotensin II, telmisartan also causes blood vessels to relax and widen, further lowering blood pressure.
