Take regularly, as prescribed for this medicine to be most effective, even if you feel better. In Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain) Bengreat 8 Tablet relaxes the blood vessels making it easier for blood to flow around your body. This means that more oxygen gets to your heart and reduces the risk of getting chest pain (angina). This medicine should not be used to treat chest pain which is already happening.

Description: Bengreat 8 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). It lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload, which helps prevent heart attacks and strokes. Bengreat 8 Tablet may be prescribed alone or along with other medicines. The dose depends on what you are taking it for and the severity of your condition. You can take it at any time of the day, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. It should be taken with food. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor. Do not stop this medicine on your own, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. If you stop taking it, your condition may get worse. Keeping active with regular exercise, reducing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. The most common side effects include fatigue, edema (swelling in the feet or ankles), sleepiness, dizziness, flushing, headache, and unusual beating of the heart (palpitations).
