Amlong-A Tablet

Description

Main Uses 
Amlong-A Tablet is mainly prescribed to:

• Control high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Prevent chest pain (angina)

• Reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke

It helps in lowering blood pressure, reducing heart strain, and improving heart function by combining two effective heart medicines.

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 the heart rate and reduces the force of heartbeats, making it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently.

Together, they help control blood pressure, prevent chest pain, and protect the heart from overexertion.

Dosage:

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

• The dose is set by your doctor depending on your blood pressure and heart condition.

• Do not stop suddenly, as this can cause a rapid rise in blood pressure or worsen chest pain.
