A calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
A beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of contractions, lowering blood pressure and improving heart function.
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
Management of angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart)
Cilnidipine blocks calcium channels in the blood vessel walls, causing vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and reducing peripheral vascular resistance. Metoprolol blocks beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, contractility, and cardiac output, thus lowering blood pressure.
