Product Description
BENITOWA TM is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Telmisartan (40.00mg per tablet) and Benidipine Hydrochloride (4.00mg per tablet). Telmisartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Benidipine Hydrochloride is a calcium channel blocker that helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure. This combination medication is prescribed to adults for the management of hypertension. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and reducing the workload on the heart. BENITOWA TM helps to regulate blood pressure and prevent complications associated with hypertension.
