1. What is Manidipina Zentiva and what is it used for?

Manidipina Zentiva tablets contain 20 mg of the active substance called manidipina,
which belongs to a group of medicines called dihydropyridine calcium antagonists.
Manidipina Zentiva is indicated for the treatment of essential mild to moderate hypertension
(high blood pressure).
Manidipina Zentiva works by relaxing blood vessels to reduce pressure.
