Benitor T Tablet

Your doctor may prescribe Benitor T Tablet to help manage the following conditions:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): It helps lower high blood pressure when a single medicine is not enough. Keeping blood pressure within a normal range reduces the strain on your heart and blood vessels.
• Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: By consistently controlling blood pressure, this medicine helps reduce the risk of life-threatening events such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney damage.

When used as directed as part of your treatment plan, Benitor T Tablet may provide the following benefits:

• Helps maintain blood pressure control: Benitor T Tablet combines two medicines that lower blood pressure in different ways. This may provide better control when one medicine alone is not enough.
• Reduces strain on the heart and blood vessels: Lowering high blood pressure reduces the force against the artery walls and decreases the workload on the heart.
• Supports long-term heart and kidney health: Keeping blood pressure within the recommended range helps lower the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension, including stroke, heart disease, and kidney damage.
• Combines two medicines in one tablet: Having benidipine and telmisartan in a single tablet may make the prescribed treatment routine easier to follow.

• Benitor T Tablet can be taken with or without food as advised by the doctor.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Swallow Benitor T Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not chew, crush, or break it.

• Reduce Sodium Intake: Limit your daily salt intake. Avoid processed foods, canned soups, and salty snacks, as excess sodium raises blood pressure and reduces the effectiveness of this medicine.
• Monitor Potassium Levels: Since one of the ingredients can increase potassium levels in your blood, talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes containing potassium or taking potassium supplements.
• Stay Hydrated Safely: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, but avoid excessive caffeine, which can temporarily spike your blood pressure.
• Engage in Regular Moderate Exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate cardiovascular activity, like brisk walking, most days of the week, with your doctor's approval.
• Limit Alcohol Consumption: Avoid or strictly limit alcohol, as it can interact with your medication to cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting.

• Check the Packaging: Always inspect the blister pack before taking your dose. Do not use the tablet if the packaging is damaged, torn, or shows signs of tampering.
• Stand Up Slowly: To prevent dizziness or fainting when getting up from a sitting or lying position, stand up slowly and steady yourself for a moment.
• Monitor Your Blood Pressure: Keep a home blood pressure log and share the readings with your doctor regularly to ensure the medication is working effectively.
• Avoid Grapefruit Juice: Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medicine, as it can increase the level of the medication in your body and raise the risk of side effects.
• Notify Surgeons or Dentists: If you are scheduled for any surgery or dental procedure, inform your surgeon or dentist that you are taking Benitor T Tablet, as it can interact with anaesthetics.
