Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood, thereby reducing blood pressure and relieving chest pain. This medication belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers.

In addition to hypertension, this medicine is also indicated for managing angina pectoris. Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. Using this medicine helps improve blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart.

Before starting this medication, it is essential to consult your doctor about the appropriate dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications to ensure the best treatment plan. If you experience any side effects, notify your doctor promptly. It's vital to continue taking this medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor to manage your condition effectively.

Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Management of hypertension: This medicine helps control high blood pressure, which can lead to serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes if not properly managed.
Prevention of angina pectoris: Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10 is also used to prevent angina, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles.

Here's how you should take Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10:

Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.
Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10 contains benidipine (8 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

Vasodilation: Benidipine relaxes and widens the blood vessels. This action reduces the blood pressure within the arteries and decreases the pressure against which the heart must pump blood.
Improving blood flow to the heart: By dilating the coronary arteries, benidipine increases the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. This helps prevent and alleviate symptoms of angina.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Vitabend 8 MG Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Missed Dose
