Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. It is a dihydropyridine derivative that works by blocking the influx of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. Cilnidipine is available in both oral and intravenous formulations. It is generally well tolerated, with few side effects. Cilnidipine is a relatively new drug in the cardiovascular market, but it has been gaining traction in recent years due to its efficacy and safety profile. It is increasingly being used as an alternative to other calcium channel blockers, such as amlodipine and nifedipine, due to its lower risk of side effects. Some of the major companies in the cilnidipine market include Sun Pharmaceuticals, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals. These companies are involved in the production, marketing, and distribution of cilnidipine products. Show Less Read more
