Cilnidipine + Irbesartan

Introduction

Cilnidipine + Irbesartan is a combination medicine mainly prescribed for the management of high blood pressure. It contains two active components that work together to help relax blood vessels and maintain healthy blood flow. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps reduce vascular tension, while Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker that prevents blood vessels from narrowing. This combination is often recommended when single medicines are not sufficient to control blood pressure effectively. Regular use as advised by a healthcare professional may help reduce the risk of heart-related complications and support long-term cardiovascular health.
