Amlopres-AT Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure and angina (chest pain). It is a combination of two medicines: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol, a beta-blocker. These two agents work together to control blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. Amlopres-AT is often prescribed when a single medicine is not sufficient to manage hypertension effectively. By lowering blood pressure, it helps prevent future complications such as heart attacks, stroke, and kidney damage. The tablet is usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, at the same time each day, and should not be stopped without medical advice. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, weight control, and regular exercise support the medication’s effectiveness.
Uses
- Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Benefits of Amlopres AT
- Lowers high blood pressure – Controls hypertension by reducing blood vessel resistance and slowing heart rate.
- Reduces angina attacks – Improves oxygen delivery to the heart, easing chest pain and increasing physical endurance.
- Protects the heart – Lessens the strain on the heart, lowering the risk of heart failure or damage.
- Improves blood circulation – Helps blood flow more freely, reducing pressure on arteries and organs.
- Prevents complications – Lowers the chances of stroke, heart attack, and chronic kidney disease.
How Amlopres AT Tablet works
Amlopres-AT contains Amlodipine and Atenolol, which act on different parts of the cardiovascular system. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels by blocking calcium entry, causing the arteries to widen. This improves blood flow and reduces resistance. Atenolol lowers the heart rate and force of contraction, reducing oxygen demand and stress on the heart. The combined effect decreases blood pressure efficiently and helps prevent angina. Better oxygen delivery ensures the heart performs without extra effort. Blood pressure is stabilized throughout the day with consistent dosing. Together, the two medicines support long-term heart health and prevent severe cardiovascular events. Their complementary actions allow for broader blood pressure control than using either alone. Consistency in taking the tablet enhances its protective benefits.
