Cilacar Oc Tablet is a combination of three medicines, namely: Olmesartan medoxomil, Clindipine, and Chlorthalidone, which together help in lowering raised blood pressure effectively. Olmesartan medoxomil works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Cilnidipine blocks the activities of the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that removes extra water, certain electrolytes from the body and efficiently reduces blood pressure.
