AMLIP AT

Description

Amlip AT is an antihypertensive medication that combines two active ingredients: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol, a beta-blocker. This combination is effective for individuals whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication.

Mechanism of Action:

• Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload.

• Atenolol slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of contraction, further lowering blood pressure.

Together, these actions help in managing high blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Uses:

• Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Management of Angina Pectoris (chest pain)

Dosage and Administration:

Amlip AT is typically taken once daily, with or without food. The dosage should be as prescribed by a healthcare professional, based on individual health needs. It’s important to take the medication regularly and not to stop abruptly without consulting a doctor.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Headache

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Nausea

• Fatigue

• Ankle swelling

• Slow heart rate

Most side effects are mild and may resolve with continued use. However, if any side effect persists or worsens, it’s important to seek medical attention.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be necessary during treatment.

• Avoid consuming grapefruit juice, as it can interact with Amlodipine.
