Amlopres AT Tablet
Description
Amlopres AT Tablet is a prescription medicine used to control high blood pressure and prevent chest pain (angina). It combines two active ingredients, amlodipine and atenolol, that work together to keep your heart healthy. By reducing strain on the heart and improving blood flow, it helps lower the risk of serious conditions like heart attack and stroke. Taking Amlopres AT Tablet regularly as advised by your doctor can help you maintain a stable blood pressure and a healthy heart rate. Stamlo Beta 50, Amlokind AT tablet, Amodep AT, Amlovas AT 50, and Amlokind AT 50 all contain a combination of atenolol and amlodipine as active ingredients.
Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing smoother blood flow and reducing pressure on the heart. Atenolol, on the other hand, slows down the heart rate and decreases the force with which your heart pumps blood. Together, these actions make Amlopres AT Tablet effective in controlling hypertension and preventing episodes of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
It is important to take Amlopres AT Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it suddenly, as this may cause your blood pressure to rise again or lead to heart problems. Always take it at the same time every day to get the best results. Swallow the tablet with water and follow your doctor’s advice on diet and lifestyle changes, such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking or alcohol.
Patients with kidney or liver problems and elderly individuals should be cautious while using Amlopres AT Tablet. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your health condition. If you experience side effects such as dizziness, tiredness, slow heartbeat, or swelling of feet and ankles, inform your doctor right away. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you feel dizzy after taking the medicine.
Before starting Amlopres AT Tablet, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Also, inform your doctor about all the other medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to prevent possible drug interactions. Taking this medicine regularly, along with healthy lifestyle habits, can help you effectively manage blood pressure and keep your heart protected in the long run.
