Bengreat-4 Tablet contains benidipine (4 mg) which works in the body in the following ways:

Relaxing Blood Vessels: Benidipine relaxes the smooth muscles in the walls of your blood vessels. This causes them to widen or dilate, improving blood flow and reducing the workload on your heart.
Lowering Blood Pressure: By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, benidipine effectively reduces peripheral vascular resistance, which leads to a decrease in high blood pressure. This makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.
Increasing Oxygen Supply: In cases of angina, benidipine helps increase the supply of oxygen and blood to the heart while decreasing its workload. This aids in preventing attacks of chest pain.
