Amlosafe AT Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). It is a combination of two active ingredients: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol, a beta-blocker. These two medicines work together to lower blood pressure, ease the heart’s workload, and improve oxygen flow to the heart. Amlosafe-AT is typically used when one medicine alone isn’t enough to control blood pressure.
By controlling hypertension, this medicine helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. It also helps reduce the frequency and intensity of chest pain caused by angina. This medicine should be taken regularly as prescribed. It is usually taken on an empty stomach and at the same time daily. Patients must continue using it even if they feel fine, as stopping suddenly can worsen their condition. To enhance its effect, doctors often recommend lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight control, and a low-sodium diet.
Uses
- Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Benefits of Amlosafe AT
- Helps control high blood pressure when one medicine is not enough
- Reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems
- Relieves chest pain by improving oxygen supply to the heart
- Lowers heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload
- Improves exercise tolerance and daily functioning in patients with angina
How Amlosafe AT Tablet works
Amlosafe-AT Tablet combines two effective blood pressure medicines. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking calcium entry into smooth muscle cells. As vessels widen, blood flows more easily, reducing pressure. Atenolol slows the heart rate by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors. The heart beats less forcefully and uses less oxygen. These effects reduce strain on the heart and control blood pressure. Amlodipine also prevents artery spasms and improves oxygen delivery. Atenolol helps reduce symptoms like palpitations and irregular heartbeat. Together, they stabilize blood flow and keep blood pressure within safe limits. Angina frequency also reduces as more oxygen reaches the heart muscle. The combination reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events. Continuous use maintains stable cardiovascular function.
