About Benitowa Trio Tablet

Benitowa Trio Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called antihypertensives used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. It will be an addition to the workload of the heart and arteries.

Benitowa Trio Tablet consists of Chlorthalidone (diuretic), Benidipine (calcium channel blocker), and Telmisartan (angiotensin II receptor blocker). Chlorthalidone belongs to the class of diuretics (water tablets) that works by increasing the removal of excess water and certain salts, such as sodium and potassium, from the blood. This removal of water from blood reduces the fluid volume circulating through blood vessels and improves blood flow. Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker that acts on muscle cells in the artery walls and relaxes muscle cells. It relaxes and widens arteries (blood vessels) and improves the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. Telmisartan works by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II in the body that causes the narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, Benitowa Trio Tablet widens and relaxes blood vessels. Thus, it lowers high blood pressure.
