Introduction to Benipel 8mg Tablet

Benipel 8mg Tablet is a distinctive medication originating from Japan, contains Benidipine and operates in a unique way to support blood vessels.

By blocking three types of calcium channels, it acts as a shield for the cells lining the blood vessels, contributing to overall blood vessel health. Essentially, Benidipine serves as a guardian for blood vessels, ensuring their well-being by targeting specific channels crucial for their function.

Follow your doctor's prescribed dose and duration. It can be taken with or without food, but consistency in daily timing is recommended.

Caution is advised when combining Benidipine with other antihypertensive medications, as it can cause a decrease in blood pressure.
