Amlovas AT Tablet combines Amlodipine Besilate (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker, with Atenolol (50 mg), a beta-blocker, to provide a dual-action approach for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). This combination works synergistically to relax blood vessels, reduce heart rate, and lower blood pressure, offering comprehensive cardiovascular protection.
Amlodipine helps dilate arteries, improving blood flow and decreasing the heart’s workload, while Atenolol slows the heart rate and reduces myocardial oxygen demand. Together, they are effective in controlling blood pressure, preventing angina attacks, and reducing the risk of heart-related complications. This combination is particularly useful in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single agent.
