Description

Uses:

Amlosafe-AT Tablet is used for:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure): Helps reduce blood pressure effectively through dual action.

• Angina (chest pain): Reduces frequency and severity of angina attacks.

• Prevention of cardiovascular complications: Lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related issues.

How It Works:

• Amlodipine (5mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow.

• Atenolol (50mg): A beta-blocker that reduces heart rate and the heart’s workload, lowering blood pressure and oxygen demand.

• Together, they provide synergistic blood pressure control and improve overall heart health.
