Amlip AT Tablet is a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain related to heart disease). It contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB), and Atenolol, a beta-blocker. These two drugs work together to relax blood vessels and slow the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood effectively and reducing overall blood pressure.
This combination is typically used when a single drug isn’t enough to control blood pressure. By reducing blood pressure, Amlip AT Tablet lowers the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications.
Uses
- Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Benefits of Amlip AT
- Lowers high blood pressure more effectively through dual-action: vasodilation and heart rate control.
- Prevents angina episodes by improving blood flow and reducing oxygen demand of the heart.
- Reduces long-term cardiovascular risk when used consistently.
- Improves exercise tolerance in patients with chronic stable angina.
- Convenient once-daily dosing helps maintain steady blood pressure control.
How Amlip AT Tablet works
Amlip AT Tablet works through two mechanisms:
-
Amlodipine (5 mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow.
-
Atenolol (50 mg): A beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of heart contractions, helping the heart pump more efficiently and reducing its oxygen demand.
Together, they lower blood pressure, reduce the frequency of angina attacks, and help protect the heart from strain.
Side effects
- Headache
- Edema
- Fatigue
- Slow heart rate
- Nausea
