About Depin 10 Capsule

Depin 10 Capsule belongs to a group of medications called Calcium channel blockers primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease. It is also used to reduce strokes and chest pain (angina) caused by the arteries' blockage. In addition to this, Depin 10 Capsule is also used to treat preterm labour.

Depin 10 Capsule works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results.
