About Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan
Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan helps lower the blood pressure, thereby reducing the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness, and dyspnea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan is a combination of three drugs, namely: Cilnidipine, Telmisartan, and Metoprolol succinate. Cilnidipine acts on the calcium channels of the blood vessels and suppresses the contraction of blood vessels, thereby helping the blood flow smoothly. Telmisartan works by blocking the angiotensin II receptor, thereby relaxing the blood vessels and lowering the blood pressure. Metoprolol succinate slows down the rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Together, Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan helps treat hypertension.
Take Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan as prescribed. You are advised to take Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness, decreased blood pressure, and slow heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Try not to stop taking Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan on your own as it may cause a sudden increase in blood pressure. Consult your doctor before taking Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan is not recommended for children as efficacy and safety have not been established. Cilnidipine+metoprolol Succinate+telmisartan may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary
High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
