Cilnivas Tablet 10 mg contains Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). Cilnidipine belongs to the dihydropyridine class of calcium antagonists and works by relaxing blood vessels, reducing vascular resistance, and improving blood flow. By lowering elevated blood pressure, Cilnivas helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney-related complications associated with chronic hypertension.

This once-daily oral tablet offers a convenient and effective approach to long-term blood pressure control. Cilnivas not only lowers systemic blood pressure but also provides renal protection, making it suitable for patients with hypertensive conditions complicated by mild kidney concerns.
