Benicard 4 MG Tablet 10 contains benidipine (4mg) and operates in the body via the following processes:

• Vascular Smooth Muscle Relaxation: Benidipine acts on your blood vessels, causing them to relax. This relaxation allows for improved blood flow and reduces pressure within the vessels.

• Inhibition of Calcium Ions: As a calcium channel blocker, benidipine inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells during depolarisation. This leads to decreased contractility of your heart muscle.

• Vasodilation: The inhibition of calcium ions also results in vasodilation, which is an expansion of blood vessels. This further contributes to lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload on your heart.

• Prevention of Angina: By improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart, benidipine helps in managing stable angina pectoris, reducing the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes.
