Description: Cardexa 10mg/25mg/40mg Tablet ER is a combination of medicines used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) when a single medication is not effective.

How to Use: Cardexa 10mg/25mg/40mg Tablet ER is a combination of three medicines: Cilnidipine, metoprolol and telmisartan. They work by different mechanisms to provide better control of blood pressure when single or dual therapy is not effective. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) and telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). They work by widening and relaxing the blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta blocker that works specifically on the heart to slow down the heart rate.
