Clinispect 10mg Tablet belongs to the class of blood pressure-lowering medications called 'calcium channel blockers' primarily used to treat hypertension. Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the blood vessels (arteries). If hypertension is left, untreated can lead to heart disease and stroke attack. 

Clinispect 10mg Tablet contains 'Clinidipine' that helps dilates (widens) blood vessels, thereby increasing the heart's blood flow. The phenomena of vasodilation (widening) of the heart’s blood vessels reduce the heart's workload and muscles. Thus, Clinispect 10mg Tablet improves the blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue, thereby lowering the raised blood pressure on the blood vessel's arteries. 

Take Clinispect 10mg Tablet as prescribed by the doctor. In some cases, Clinispect 10mg Tablet can cause side effects like sleepiness, oedema (fluid retention), ankle swelling, fatigue, headache, flushing (feeling warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), stomach upset and abdominal pain.

Clinispect 10mg Tablet is an anti-hypertensive drug that treats high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Clinidipine, a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Clinidipine works by widening the heart’s blood vessels and reduces peripheral vascular resistance (constriction of blood vessels that leads to high blood pressure). Reduced peripheral vascular resistance improves the blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue.   

Monitor your blood pressure levels regularly. Brief your medical history if you have kidney or liver problems, severe dehydration, low blood pressure, diabetes and heart diseases (aortic stenosis, heart failure) before starting Clinispect 10mg Tablet . Too much sweating, diarrhoea, or vomiting while using Clinispect 10mg Tablet may lead to dehydration, hence it is advised to drink enough fluids. Consult your doctor before using Clinispect 10mg Tablet if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Complete the course strictly as suggested by the doctor, even if you feel better, to avoid disease recurrence. Avoid consumption of alcohol with Clinispect 10mg Tablet as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure.

Hypertension: It is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. It is considered as an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and can be caused due to obesity, diabetes, smoking, high salt intake, stress, lack of physical activity or ageing. Blood pressure is measured in the ratio of systolic pressure to diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure range lies in between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg. If the blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater, it is considered high blood pressure.
