Amlodipine and Atenolol Tablets

Manufactured by Onco India International

Overview

Amlodipine and Atenolol Tablets combine two proven cardiovascular medicines to provide dual benefits in controlling high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and other heart-related conditions. This combination helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure by managing both blood pressure and heart rate effectively.

Uses

• Hypertension Management: Relaxes blood vessels and slows heart rate to lower blood pressure.

• Chest Pain (Angina Pectoris): Reduces the heart’s oxygen demand, preventing or relieving chest discomfort.

• Irregular Heartbeat: Stabilizes heart rhythm and regulates electrical activity.

• Heart Attack Prevention: Reduces the workload on the heart and improves long-term cardiovascular health.

How It Works

• Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

• Atenolol: A beta blocker that slows heart rate and decreases cardiac output, further lowering blood pressure.
  Together, they ease strain on the heart and improve oxygen delivery.
