Tenocab Tablet 5 mg+50 mg is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Amlodipine Besilate (5 mg) and Atenolol (50 mg). This formulation is designed to provide effective and sustained control of high blood pressure (hypertension) and associated cardiovascular conditions. By combining two different classes of medications, it offers enhanced blood pressure reduction and improved heart function.

Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels, while Atenolol reduces heart rate and cardiac workload. Together, they help maintain optimal blood pressure and reduce the risk of serious complications such as heart attack and stroke.

Indications

Tenocab Tablet is indicated for:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Management and prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain)

Mechanism of Action

• Amlodipine Besilate: A calcium channel blocker that dilates peripheral blood vessels, lowering vascular resistance and blood pressure.
• Atenolol: A selective beta-1 blocker that decreases heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure.

This dual mechanism ensures better cardiovascular protection and improved therapeutic outcomes.

Dosage and Administration
