Aginal At Strip Of 15 Tablets
Description
Aginal AT tablet is a combination medicine used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain). Its active ingredients are amlodipine and atenolol, which work together to control blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens your blood vessels, allowing for easier blood flow. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, thereby slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of heart muscle contractions. This helps to lower your blood pressure and relieve the symptoms of angina.
Take this medicine exactly as directed by a healthcare professional. It is crucial not to stop taking it suddenly, as this can lead to a rebound increase in your blood pressure or a worsening of your heart conditions. The dose should be gradually reduced under medical supervision if discontinuation is necessary. If you have underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney dysfunction, heart disease, or respiratory issues like asthma, you should use this medicine with caution and inform your doctor about your complete medical history. Special care is also advised if you are elderly or have a history of diabetes or thyroid disorders.
Common side effects of Aginal AT tablet may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, and ankle swelling. These conditions are typically mild and resolve on their own over time. However, if any side effect becomes severe or persistent, it is important to consult your doctor. The medicine can also interact with other medicines, including immunosuppressants, cholesterol-lowering agents, and certain antibiotics, which may alter its effect or increase the risk of adverse effects. You should inform your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking to prevent potential interactions.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not take Aginal AT, as it may pose risks to the fetus or infant. It is also advised to avoid alcohol consumption while on this medicine, as it can cause a significant drop in blood pressure. Due to the potential for dizziness and sleepiness, you should exercise caution while driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how the medicine affects you. For optimum results, the tablet should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food, as part of a comprehensive management plan for high blood pressure that includes dietary modifications and regular exercise.
