BENITEC H 20MG TABLET

Question 1

How does BENITEC H 20MG TABLET work?

Accepted Answer

BENITEC H 20MG TABLET is a combination of two medicines: Olmesartan medoximil and Hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan medoximil is a prodrug and breaks down into active form, i.e., olmesartan once absorbed in the GIT (Gastrointestinal tract). It is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolyte overload from the body. Together, BENITEC H 20MG TABLET lowers the fluid overload, raises blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.

Question 3

However, try not to miss a dose in the first place; if it's time for you to take your next dose, then do not take both doses together. Take only one dose; taking a double dose of BENITEC H 20MG TABLET will lead to low blood pressure.

Question 5
