Clindinol 20mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Clindinol 20 tablet, is a medication primarily prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains cilnidipine as its active ingredient and belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. Its main function is to lower your blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. This action makes it easier for your heart to pump blood throughout your body, which in turn reduces the workload on your heart. Regular and consistent use of this medicine, combined with lifestyle modifications, is essential for long-term blood pressure control and to prevent serious complications like a heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage.
You should take Clindinol 20 tablet exactly as instructed by your doctor, usually once a day. You can take it with or without food, but it's best to take it at a fixed time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medicine in your body. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor will determine the dosage and duration of the treatment after evaluating your specific health condition. It's a long-term treatment, and you must not stop taking this medicine abruptly even if you feel better, as this could cause a sudden increase in your blood pressure.
The way Clindinol 20 tablet works is by inhibiting certain receptors on your blood vessels responsible for constriction. It has a dual-blocking effect on calcium channels. By blocking these channels, it causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing the pressure of the blood flow. This dual action is considered beneficial, especially for high blood pressure that may be related to nervous system activity. By managing your blood pressure, this medicine helps protect vital organs like the brain, kidneys, and blood vessels from the damaging effects of chronic hypertension.
While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. Common side effects can include dizziness, flushing (a feeling of warmth or redness), headache, low blood pressure, and swelling (often in the ankles or feet). Inform your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen. Before starting this medicine, you should also inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing heart-related problems (like heart failure or very low blood pressure), liver disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. In case of an overdose, contact your doctor or a nearby hospital immediately.
