What does it do?

Benidipine hydrochloride belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. It is primarily prescribed for the management of blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Benidipine hydrochloride relaxes blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells. This results in decreased vascular resistance and lower blood pressure.
