New Delhi: The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, has revised the retail price of the Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) drug containing Cilnidipine 20mg and Telmisartan 40mg following a review of data by the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP).

According to the notification issued by the Authority on February 7, 2025, the new retail price for the Cilnidipine & Telmisartan tablet (film-coated, 20mg/40mg) has been set at Rs14.15 per tablet. This update supersedes earlier pricing orders and is now applicable to the formulation manufactured by Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and marketed by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

The formulation combines two active ingredients, Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and chronic heart failure. By working together, these drugs help to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
