Benefits of Heartigic MT 40mg/50mg Tablet XL

In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure): Hypertension or an increase in blood pressure occurs when the blood vessels that supply blood to your heart become narrow. As a result of this, blood cannot flow smoothly to the heart, heart rate increases and it fails to pump blood effectively to other parts of the body.

You should take it regularly as prescribed for this medicine to be most effective, even if you feel better.
