A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that helps relax blood vessels and reduces fluid retention, further lowering blood pressure.
Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
May be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications
Benidipine blocks calcium channels in the heart and blood vessels, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and decreased heart rate. Telmisartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. The combined effect of these two medications results in a significant reduction in blood pressure.
