Benefits of Vintel-M 50 Tablet ER
Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Hypertension or an increase in blood pressure occurs when the blood vessels
that supply blood to your heart become narrow. As a result of this, blood
cannot flow smoothly to the heart, heart rate increases and it fails to pump
blood effectively to other parts of the body. This puts a strain on the heart
that can cause a chest pain or even a heart attack.
Vintel-M 50 Tablet ER reduces pressure in the blood vessels. It relaxes the blood vessels
so that blood can flow more easily to your heart. This reduces strain on the
heart and slows down heart rate. This further reduces the risk of having a
stroke, a heart attack, or kidney problems in the future.
You do not usually feel any direct benefit from taking this medicine, but it
works in the long term to keep you well. You should take it regularly as
prescribed for this medicine to be most effective, even if you feel better.
