BENISTO 4 TABLET contains Benidipine, classified as a Calcium channel blocker. It’s prescribed for hypertension management. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, involves elevated blood force against artery walls, potentially leading to severe organ damage such as heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, stroke, or even blindness. Additionally, BENISTO 4 TABLET is indicated for managing renal parenchymal hypertension (high blood pressure in the kidneys due to kidney issues) and angina pectoris. Angina pectoris manifests as sudden, intense chest pain stemming from the heart’s apex, extending to the left shoulder. Symptoms include severe, crushing pain accompanied by pressure and a sense of suffocation, particularly behind the breastbone.
Benidipine functions by relaxing the coronary arteries, enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart. Consequently, it reduces strain on the heart, facilitating smoother blood pumping throughout the body. Additionally, it offers protective effects on kidney cells by lowering blood pressure within the kidneys. Prior to initiating BENISTO 4 TABLET, notify your doctor of any liver or heart conditions, particularly severe low blood pressure or cardiac shock. Refrain from consuming grapefruit juice while using BENISTO 4 TABLET, as it may exacerbate blood pressure reduction. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting BENISTO 4 TABLET therapy. Common side effects may include rapid heartbeat, headache, and dizziness. Should any of these side effects worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
USES OF BENISTO 4 TABLET
- Manage hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Manage and manages chest pain associated with angina pectoris
- Manage renal parenchymal hypertension
HOW BENISTO 4 TABLET WORKS
BENISTO 4 TABLET effectively lowers blood pressure and alleviates chest pain by virtue of benidipine’s mechanism of action, which entails relaxing the coronary arteries. Consequently, this enhancement of blood flow to the heart reduces cardiac strain, facilitating more efficient blood pumping throughout the body. Moreover, the improved oxygen supply to the heart reduces ischemic symptoms like chest pain and heaviness commonly associated with angina. Additionally, benidipine’s ability to relax the renal blood vessels contributes to a reduction in intra-renal pressure, thereby aiding in the management of kidney damage.
