Uses of Xemben 4 mg Tablet
Angina (heart-related chest pain) Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Benefits of Xemben 4 mg Tablet
- In High blood pressure
- Xemben relaxes the muscle in the walls of your arteries so blood flows with less pressure. Keeping blood pressure down protects you from stroke, heart attack and kidney damage over the years.

How Xemben 4 mg Tablet works

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).
