SALT INFORMATION FOR Vitabend CH

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
Chlorthalidone(12.5mg)

Uses

Chlorthalidone is used for Hypertension (high blood pressure) and Edema. It treats oedema (fluid overload) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease.

How it works

Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, Dizziness, Vertigo, Orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing), Erectile dysfunction, Electrolyte imbalance, Increased glucose level in blood, Increased uric acid level in blood, Weakness, Hypersensitivity, Renal impairment, Cholestasis, Jaundice, Photosensitivity
