    How Nulong T Tablet 15 Works?

    Nulong T Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients:

    • Cilnidipine (10 mg): This component is a calcium channel blocker, which works by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. By doing so, cilnidipine allows blood to flow more easily, reducing blood pressure.

    • Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan belongs to a class of medicines known as angiotensin receptor blockers. It operates by blocking the action of a substance called angiotensin II in your body, which usually causes blood vessels to narrow. By preventing this action, telmisartan allows blood vessels to relax and widen, thus lowering your blood pressure.
