Description

Benprost 20mcg is an oral tablet manufactured by Nabiqasim Industries, formulated with Beraprost Sodium as its active ingredient. Supplied as 10 tablets per pack, it is a synthetic prostacyclin analogue used to support healthier blood flow in patients dealing with certain vascular and pulmonary circulation disorders.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 20 micrograms (mcg) of Beraprost Sodium, combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the tablet’s formulation and consistent absorption once taken.

Dosage Form

Benprost is manufactured as an oral tablet, packaged 10 tablets per box, meant to be swallowed with a glass of water, generally alongside meals.

Uses

Benprost 20mcg is used in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), helping to widen narrowed blood vessels in the lungs, ease strain on the heart, and support improved exercise capacity and breathing. It is also used for peripheral vascular conditions, including chronic arterial occlusion and Raynaud’s phenomenon, where it helps improve blood flow to the hands and feet, easing symptoms such as pain, numbness, or a persistent feeling of coldness in the limbs.

How to Use

Benprost is typically taken multiple times daily, often three times a day with meals, exactly as prescribed by your physician, since food intake can help reduce potential stomach-related discomfort. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it. Doses should be spaced evenly throughout the day to maintain a steady level of medicine in the body, and treatment duration will depend on your specific condition. Never adjust your dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor, as this medicine is often part of an ongoing management plan.

Side Effects

Commonly reported effects include headache, flushing, dizziness, and mild digestive discomfort. Because Beraprost affects platelet function, it may also increase the tendency to bruise or bleed more easily than usual, so caution is needed for anyone with a bleeding disorder or those already taking blood-thinning medicines. Any unusual or prolonged bleeding, severe headache, or signs of an allergic reaction should be reported to a doctor immediately.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Benprost is generally not recommended during pregnancy, as it may carry risks to the developing baby, and its use requires careful physician evaluation. Its safety during breastfeeding has also not been clearly established, so nursing mothers should consult their doctor before use. Anyone pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should seek personalized medical guidance.

Storage Instructions

Store Benprost tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until needed, and store them safely out of children’s reach. Do not use tablets beyond their expiry date.
