Introduction to Natcocil T Tablet
Natcocil T tablet contains telmisartan and cilnidipine, two active ingredients that belong to the class of antihypertensive drugs, used to control high blood pressure. These components work by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
This medication should be taken as directed by your doctor, either with or without food, but at the same time each day. It’s important to continue taking it even if you feel well. The dosage may vary based on individual conditions and how the body responds to treatment.
