Tensipine MR is a medication commonly prescribed for the management of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The "MR" in its name stands for "Modified Release," which means that the drug is formulated to release its active ingredient gradually over time, ensuring a more consistent effect in controlling blood pressure levels throughout the day. This feature helps in maintaining steady blood pressure readings, reducing the risk of spikes and troughs that can be harmful. Tensipine MR works by affecting the calcium channels in the cardiovascular system, leading to relaxation of the blood vessels, which in turn reduces the blood pressure. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions when taking Tensipine MR to ensure its effectiveness and to minimize potential side effects.
