Benyda-CT Tablet 10's

Benyda-CT Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antihypertensives’. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a lifelong condition in which there is a persistent rise in blood pressure. The rise in blood pressure occurs when the force exerted by the blood against the blood vessel (arteries wall) increases. The higher the blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Benyda-CT Tablet contains Benidipine and Chlorthalidone. Benidipine blocks the calcium channels present in the blood vessels of the heart. This effect widens the blood vessels lowering the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels. It decreases the workload on the heart and also reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic or water pill. It acts by getting rid of excess water and salts in the body by increasing urination, thereby reducing blood pressure. It helps to reduce edema (fluid buildup) and swelling associated with hypertension.

Benyda-CT Tablet should be taken as advised by your doctor. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor based on your health condition. Benyda-CT Tablet may cause certain common side effects such as low blood pressure (feeling light-headed), dizziness, headache, palpitations (racing or pounding heart), increased frequency of urination, and lethargy (lack of energy). These side effects resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
