About Bensar 20 Tablet
Bensar 20 Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-hypertensives' primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently at higher than normal levels. If left untreated, this condition can increase the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.
Bensar 20 Tablet contains ‘Olmesartan medoxomil’ which is a prodrug and is hydrolyzed to olmesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. It is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB) that narrows the blood vessels increasing the blood pressure, therefore blocking angiotensin can result in the widening of the narrowed blood vessels. This effect allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels.
Take Bensar 20 Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Bensar 20 Tablet based on your medical condition. The common side-effects of Bensar 20 Tablet are dizziness, headache, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, stomach pain, and sore throat.
