SALT INFORMATION FOR Benepack T

Benidipine(4mg)

Uses

Benidipine is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) and Angina (heart-related chest pain).

How it works

Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker. It regulates the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the pressure on them, thereby making it easier for the heart to pump more blood throughout the body. In this way, it normalizes the blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure. This enhanced blood flow also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby, preventing any heart-related chest pain (angina).

Common side effects

Fatigue, Ankle swelling, Sleepiness, Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), Headache, Dizziness, Palpitations, Nausea, Edema (swelling), Abdominal pain
Telmisartan(40mg)

Uses

Telmisartan is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure), Heart failure, fever and prevention of heart attack and stroke.

How it works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently..

Common side effects

Diarrhea, Asthma, Angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of skin), Increased white blood cell count (eosinophils), Low blood platelets, Impotence, Migraine, Upper respiratory tract infection, Back pain, Cough, Hypersensitivity, Sinus inflammation, Skin ulcer, Vertigo, Intermittent claudication, Increased sweating, Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), Fever, Piles, Bronchitis (inflammation of the airways), Joint inflammation, Dryness in mouth, Cystitis, Nausea, Ringing in ear, Decreased hemoglobin, Tachycardia, Increased creatinine level in blood

Benidipine is a medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and Angina (heart-related chest pain). It belongs to a group of medicines that block the calcium channels in the blood vessel. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in patients with high blood pressure. This widens the diameter of the blood vessels which helps the blood to pass through them more easily.
Q. What are the side effects of Benidipine?
Benidipine is generally well tolerated but sometimes can also be associated with side effects like headache, dizziness, flushing, palpitations, nausea, and stomach pain. It may also cause sleepiness, ankle swelling, and fatigue. These side effects are not common in everyone but may occur in some individuals. Do consult your doctor if you notice any side effects after taking this medicine.
Q. Is Benidipine good for patients of high blood pressure with kidney impairment?
Yes, Benidipine has been shown to have protective effects on the kidney cells, thereby preventing them from damage. It has also been shown to decrease protein leakage from the kidney in patients who have diabetes as well as high blood pressure.

Q. Should I take Benidipine in the morning or at night?
Benidipine can be taken anytime in the morning or evening, usually prescribed once daily. You should use this medicine as prescribed by a doctor. It is advised to take the medicine at the same time each day so that you remember to take it and consistent levels of medicine are maintained in the body.
Q. How long do I need to take Benidipine?
You should keep on taking Benidipine for as long as your doctor has recommended you to take it. You may need to take it lifelong. Do not stop taking it, even if you feel well or your blood pressure is well controlled. If you stop taking Benidipine, your blood pressure may increase again and your condition may worsen.
Q. What changes can I make to control my blood pressure better?
Avoid eating grapefruit (chakotra) or drinking grapefruit juice while taking Benidipine. Take low sodium and low-fat diet, and adhere to the lifestyle changes as advised by your doctor.
Q. What if you forget to take Benidipine?
If you miss a dose of Benidipine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Telmisartan

Q. Should Telmisartan be taken in the morning or at night?
Telmisartan is generally recommended to be taken once daily, either in the morning or in the evening. Consider taking it at the same time each day as it will help you to remember taking it.
Q. How long does it take for Telmisartan to work?
You may see an improvement within a few days. But, the maximum benefit can be seen within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment.
Q. My blood pressure is now controlled. Can I stop taking Telmisartan now?
No, do not stop taking Telmisartan without consulting your doctor even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which could be detrimental for you. Telmisartan does not cure high blood pressure but controls it. So, you may have to take the medicine lifelong. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Q. Can the use of Telmisartan cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood)?
Yes, Telmisartan can cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium level in blood). A regular monitoring of blood potassium levels may be advised by your doctor while taking this medicine.
Q. If I have some kidney problem, can I take Telmisartan? Can it further deteriorate my kidney function?
You can take Telmisartan if it has been advised by your doctor. Your doctor may ask you to get regular tests done (potassium and creatinine levels) in order to monitor your kidney function. Telmisartan may cause worsening of kidney function, therefore you should contact your doctor in case you notice swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands or unexplained weight gain.
Q. I am overweight and the doctor has prescribed me Telmisartan for blood pressure control. I am bothered that Telmisartan can increase my weight. Is it true?
No, do not worry since Telmisartan is not known to cause weight gain. In fact in animal studies Telmisartan has been found to decrease fat tissue.
Q. Does Telmisartan affect blood glucose levels in diabetics?
Telmisartan may lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to keep a regular track of your blood glucose levels. Talk to your doctor if you are a diabetic because the dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment.
Q. Do I need to follow any precautions if I take ibuprofen and Telmisartan together?
If you are taking ibuprofen and Telmisartan together, you should continuously keep a check on your blood pressure and kidney function. Telmisartan may enhance the side effects of ibuprofen which may further cause water retention, especially in patients taking Telmisartan for heart failure. Ibuprofen may interfere with the working of Telmisartan and decrease its efficiency at lowering blood pressure.
Q. Does Telmisartan work by causing excessive urination?
No, Telmisartan does not cause excessive urination and does not belong to the diuretic class of medicines. Telmisartan works by relaxing the blood vessels by blocking the effect of a substance known as angiotensin II. This substance is responsible for increasing the blood pressure by narrowing down the blood vessels.
