Hi,

Cilacar-T is a combination medicine (cilnidipine + telmisartan) commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure. It is not found to be effective in the treatment of Buerger Disease. I would recommend Pentoxifylline which acts by improving the blood circulation through the blood vessels and thus reduces the pain caused by poor blood circulation.

I also advise you to stop smoking (if you are doing so), avoid cold, avoid drugs that can cause vasoconstriction, and avoid thermal, chemical and mechanical injury, especially that due to poorly fitting footwear.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
