Nexovas 5 Tablet contains cilnidipine (5 mg) which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Vasodilation: Cilnidipine inhibits the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells lining small arteries and arterioles. This action causes the blood vessels to widen, a process known as vasodilation.

• Reduction of Peripheral Vascular Resistance: The vasodilation caused by cilnidipine leads to a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance, which in turn helps lower high blood pressure.

• Norepinephrine Suppression: Cilnidipine blocks certain types of voltage-dependent calcium channels including N-type ones, which suppresses the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve endings. This action contributes to lowering blood pressure and minimises the occurrence of reflex tachycardia compared to other calcium channel blockers that only block L-type channels.
