Cilnidipine & Olmesartan Medoxomil is a combination antihypertensive medicine prescribed to help control high blood pressure (hypertension). It may be recommended when treatment with a single blood pressure medicine does not provide adequate control or when a doctor considers combination therapy suitable for the patient.
Cilnidipine belongs to the calcium channel blocker group. It works by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, helping blood vessels relax and improving blood flow. Olmesartan medoxomil belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) group. It blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow. Together, these ingredients help reduce blood pressure and may lower the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
Possible side effects include dizziness, headache, flushing, ankle swelling, or low blood pressure. Olmesartan may also affect kidney function and increase potassium levels in some patients, so medical monitoring may be necessary.

Do not start, stop, or change the dose without consulting your healthcare professional.
