Benidipine + Chlorthalidone + Telmisartan is a triple-action hypertensive medication (which manages high blood pressure).
Benidipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by preventing calcium from entering the muscles on the walls of the heart and blood vessels. This action widens and relaxes the blood vessels, thus reducing blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone, a diuretic, helps your kidneys remove excess water and salt from your body. This reduces the amount of fluid in your blood vessels, which in turn lowers your blood pressure.
Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, stops a hormone known as angiotensin II from constricting your blood vessels. This allows the blood vessels to widen and relax, which decreases the pressure within them.
