Amlodac AT Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain related to the heart). It combines Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol, a beta-blocker. Together, they help control blood pressure, reduce the heart’s workload, and lower the risk of serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. This medicine is often prescribed when single-drug treatment isn’t effective. It should be taken regularly, even if you feel fine, as hypertension often has no symptoms.

How Amlodac AT Tablet works
Amlodac AT contains Amlodipine and Atenolol, which work through different but complementary mechanisms. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessel walls, allowing blood to flow more easily. This reduces the pressure inside arteries. Atenolol slows down the heart rate and decreases the force of contraction. As a result, the heart uses less oxygen and energy. Together, these actions lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart strain. Do not stop taking this medication without your doctor’s advice. A sudden stop may worsen your condition.
