Amlong AT 25

Description

Main Uses
Amlong AT Tablet is mainly prescribed to:

• Control high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Prevent chest pain (angina)

• Lower the risk of heart attack and stroke

By combining two heart-protective medicines, it helps relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce the heart’s workload.

---

How It Works:

• Amlodipine – a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, helping blood flow more easily and reducing pressure on the heart.

• Atenolol – a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and decreases the force of each heartbeat, allowing the heart to function more efficiently.

Together, they help maintain steady blood pressure, prevent chest discomfort, and protect the heart from overexertion.

Dosage:

• Usually taken once daily, preferably at the same time every day.

• The exact dose is decided by your doctor based on your blood pressure levels and medical condition.
