Can cilnidipine 5 mg taken 6 hours before echo test impact the results of the echo test. echo was normal. i took it that day only but never ever befo

I hesitate to give: you a specific answer b/c I don't know what medication you mean by cilnidipine 5 mg. However, in general, b/c an echocardiogram is a structural, as well as functional, test, it's unlikely that a single dose of any prescription medication will have an effect on the results.
