About Benitowa-Beta 25 Tablet

Benitowa-Beta 25 Tablet belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Benitowa-Beta 25 Tablet helps lower the blood pressure, thereby reducing the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. 
 
Benitowa-Beta 25 Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Benidipine and Metoprolol. Benidipine acts on the calcium channels of the blood vessels and enlarges the coronary vessel and peripheral arteries, thereby helps blood flow smoothly. Metoprolol slows down the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Together, Benitowa-Beta 25 Tablet helps treat hypertension.

Disease/Condition Glossary

High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). High blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
