Creer-5 Tablet belongs to the class of blood pressure-lowering medications called 'calcium channel blockers' primarily used to treat hypertension. Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the blood vessels (arteries). If hypertension is left, untreated can lead to heart disease and stroke attack. 

Creer-5 Tablet contains 'Clinidipine' that helps dilates (widens) blood vessels, thereby increasing the heart's blood flow. The phenomena of vasodilation (widening) of the heart’s blood vessels reduce the heart's workload and muscles. Thus, Creer-5 Tablet improves the blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue, thereby lowering the raised blood pressure on the blood vessel's arteries.

Creer-5 Tablet is an anti-hypertensive drug that treats high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Clinidipine, a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Clinidipine works by widening the heart’s blood vessels and reduces peripheral vascular resistance (constriction of blood vessels that leads to high blood pressure). Reduced peripheral vascular resistance improves the blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue.   

Monitor your blood pressure levels regularly. Brief your medical history if you have kidney or liver problems, severe dehydration, low blood pressure, diabetes and heart diseases (aortic stenosis, heart failure) before starting Creer-5 Tablet . Too much sweating, diarrhoea, or vomiting while using Creer-5 Tablet may lead to dehydration, hence it is advised to drink enough fluids.
