Composition:-
ATENOLOL 50MG + AMLODIPINE 5MG
Uses:-
A combination of Atenolol 50mg and Amlodipine 5mg is a medication prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines two different types of drugs to help control blood pressure effectively:
- Atenolol (50mg): Atenolol belongs to a class of drugs called beta-blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as adrenaline, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure. By slowing the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart, Atenolol helps to lower blood pressure.
- Amlodipine (5mg): Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing blood pressure.
Side Effects:-
Common side effects of Atenolol 50mg + Amlodipine 5mg may include fatigue, dizziness, headache, swelling in the ankles or feet, flushing, and stomach upset. Atenolol may cause side effects such as slow heartbeat, cold extremities, or sleep disturbances. Amlodipine may cause side effects such as flushing, palpitations, or ankle swelling. Serious side effects such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe dizziness should be reported to a doctor promptly.
Indication:-
Atenolol 50mg + Amlodipine 5mg is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients who require both beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker therapy for optimal blood pressure control. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
