Brief Answer:
It is a known side effect.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Cilacar (Cilnidipine) is a good medicine but is known for its side effects like dizziness, flushing and headache. I would insist you to try it for a week and if it still persists, talk to your doctor about prescribing you an alternative. Your blood pressure is on the higher side and hence needs to be kept in control. So, do not skip the medicine on your own.

Feel free to write back in case of further queries, if any.

Regards
