Tenocab Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Amlodipine Besilate (5 mg) and Atenolol (25 mg). This dual-action formulation is designed to effectively control high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. By combining a calcium channel blocker with a beta-blocker, Tenocab provides a synergistic effect in lowering blood pressure and improving heart function.

It is commonly prescribed for patients who require combination therapy for better blood pressure control when a single medication is not sufficient.

Indications

Tenocab Tablet is indicated for:

• Management of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Prevention of angina (chest pain)
• Reduction of cardiovascular risks such as heart attack and stroke
• Patients requiring combination therapy for blood pressure control

Mechanism of Action

• Amlodipine Besilate: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure.
• Atenolol: A beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of heart contractions, thereby lowering blood pressure and decreasing the heart’s oxygen demand.

Together, these actions help improve cardiovascular efficiency and reduce strain on the heart.
