Composition

Benidipine (4 Mg) + Telmisartan (40 Mg)

Benidin T Tablet is primarily used to manage hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. This medication is a combination of two active ingredients and belongs to the classes of calcium channel blockers and angiotensin II receptor antagonists.

In addition to its primary use, this medicine is also beneficial for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy with either a calcium channel blocker or an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. This means that if you've been using just one type of these medicines and haven't seen significant improvement, this combination medicine may be able to help.

Before starting this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor for the right dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or other medicines you're currently taking. Should you experience any side effects, notify your doctor promptly. For the best results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Benidin T Tablet is used for the following:

Managing hypertension (high blood pressure)
Assisting in situations where blood pressure isn't adequately controlled by other medicines alone: This includes instances where calcium channel blockers or angiotensin II receptor antagonists haven't provided sufficient regulation.
Complementing other antihypertensive agents: The tablet can work in conjunction with other medicines to manage high blood pressure more effectively.

Directions for Use of Benidin T Tablet 10

Here's how to take Benidin T Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid breaking or chewing the tablet.
You can take this medicine with or without food at your convenience.
Never take more than the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor. Overdose can lead to harmful effects.
If you want to stop taking this medicine, always consult your doctor first. Abruptly stopping it could trigger withdrawal symptoms or worsen your condition.

Benidin T Tablet is taken orally.

Benidin T Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Dizziness
Headache
Peripheral oedema: This is a condition where you experience swelling in the outer areas of your body, usually the legs, ankles or feet.
Fatigue
Nausea
Back pain
Upper respiratory tract infection: This could mean a common cold or other infections that affect your nose, throat and sinuses.

Managing the Side Effects:

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

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness: If you feel dizzy after taking this medicine, try taking it before bedtime.
Nausea: To manage nausea, take the medication with meals.

Benidin T Tablet works through two active ingredients to manage high blood pressure:

Benidipine (4 mg): Benidipine reduces the amount of calcium entering the smooth muscle cells of your blood vessels. When less calcium is present, these cells relax, allowing the blood vessels to widen and thus reducing the resistance to blood flow. This in turn lowers your blood pressure.
Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan works by blocking the action of a substance called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II normally narrows your blood vessels, but telmisartan prevents it from doing so. As a result, your blood vessels can relax and widen, further lowering your blood pressure.

Pregnancy

Benidin T Tablet should not be used during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy due to potential risks. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Breastfeeding

It is not known whether the active ingredients in Benidin T Tablet are excreted in human milk. If you are breastfeeding, it's advisable to discuss potential risks and benefits with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Alcohol

Caution is advised when consuming alcohol while taking Benidin T Tablet. Alcohol may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect of this medicine. Make sure to discuss this with your doctor.

Liver

Benidin T Tablet is contraindicated in people with severe liver impairment or biliary obstructive disorders. If you have mild to moderate liver problems, consult your doctor before starting this medication as it may affect liver function.

Kidney

Caution is advised while taking Benidin T Tablet if you have a history of kidney problems. It's a good idea to consult your doctor about any kidney-related concerns before starting this medication.

Using Machines & Driving

As dizziness is one of the common side effects associated with Benidin T Tablet, caution is advised while driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

Benidin T Tablet is contraindicated if you are hypersensitive to benidipine, telmisartan, or any other components of the medicine. Always inform your doctor about any allergies before starting this medication.

Children

This medicine is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years old due to a lack of data on safety and efficacy. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

No significant differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients. However, older patients should take Benidin T Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects, especially if they have liver and kidney issues or are on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Benidin T Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Diuretics: If taken with Benidin T Tablet, diuretics like furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide may increase the risk of low blood pressure or hypotension.
Lithium: Benidin T Tablet may lead to increased lithium levels in your blood, thus it's recommended to monitor these levels closely when on both medications.
Cardiac glycosides: Consuming Benidin T Tablet alongside medicines like digoxin may slightly increase the level of digoxin in your blood.
CYP3A4 inhibitors: Medicines like ketoconazole and ritonavir, known as CYP3A4 inhibitors, may increase your exposure to benidipine.
