NYTENSO 5 mg is a prescription medication containing cilnidipine, a dual L-type and N-type calcium channel blocker used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). By inhibiting calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle and sympathetic nerve terminals, it promotes vasodilation and reduces peripheral resistance, effectively lowering blood pressure. The 5 mg dosage is typically prescribed as a starting dose, especially for elderly patients or those sensitive to antihypertensive medications. Common side effects may include dizziness, flushing, headache, and peripheral edema. Patients with known hypersensitivity to cilnidipine, cardiogenic shock, recent myocardial infarction, or severe aortic stenosis should avoid this medication. As with all antihypertensive therapies, NYTENSO 5 mg should be taken under medical supervision, with regular monitoring to ensure efficacy and minimize potential adverse effects
