Abstract: Hypertension is most important cause for morbidity and mortality worldwide, most of the hypertension patients are not aware of disease and most of them are not under control.To study the clinical features, of Hypertension and blood pressure response, side effects of patients treated with Benidipine.We retrospectively collected data of all patients presenting to outpatient department over 3 months,the parameters studied were Age,symptoms,signs,investigations if any,with main focus on patients with Hypertension (Diagnosed according to JNCVII guidelines) treated with Benidipine 4mg along with blood pressure response from day1, day 8 and day 30 were noted. Total number of patients was 40 patients, with Male to Female ratio of 60%:40%and the age ranging from 34 years to 72 years with mean age of .50.72 years.
