Description:
Cilaheart 20 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers, which help lower blood pressure. By doing so, it reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It may also be prescribed to prevent angina (heart-related chest pain).
Cilaheart 20 Tablet can be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines, depending on the severity of your condition. You can take the tablet at any time of day, with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day. Continue taking it for as long as your doctor advises. Do not stop the medication on your own, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms, making it difficult to detect sudden spikes. Stopping the medicine could worsen your condition.
In addition to taking the medicine, staying active, exercising regularly, losing weight, and following a healthy diet will help control your blood pressure. Be sure to follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medication.
Common side effects include fatigue, swelling in the feet (edema), sleepiness, dizziness, flushing, palpitations (unusual heartbeats), and headaches. If any of these side effects bother you or persist, consult your doctor. Compared to other medications in this group, side effects like swelling and palpitations tend to be less severe. Studies have also shown that Cilaheart 20 has a protective effect on the kidneys.
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. It is also important to inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions. Regular blood pressure checks are necessary to ensure that the medication is working effectively.
