Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Tablet miraqule contains Coenzyme Q 10. this is an antioxidant drug.

The basic function of this enzyme to maintain good integrity of cells,helps in some functions of cell and prevent effects of toxins on vital organs of body like heart.

All hypertensive patients are not required to take it.

Only in cases where your treating doctors feels that you need due to some reason,then only you should take it.

Please do not start on your own.

I hope you are taking drug for managing your hypertension.

Please keep regular follow up and do regular exercise to keep your self fit.
