Product Introduction
Amlokind-AT Tablet is a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (heart-related chest pain). This tablet combines two active ingredients—Amlodipine and Atenolol—to control blood pressure effectively, especially when a single medication is not sufficient. By lowering blood pressure, Amlokind-AT helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
Salt Composition / Key Ingredients
- Amlodipine (5mg)
- Atenolol (50mg)
How to Use Amlokind-AT Tablet
- Dosage: Take Amlokind-AT Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and duration depend on your condition.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- Timing: Amlokind-AT can be taken with or without food. It is best to take it at the same time each day for consistency.
- Consistency: Continue taking the medicine as directed, even if you feel well. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping the medication could worsen your condition.
Restrictions
- Liver or kidney problems: Inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney issues.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Amlokind-AT.
- Other medications: Make sure to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, particularly those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions.

Most side effects are mild and temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. Common side effects include:
- Headache
- Flushing (a warm sensation in the face, neck, or trunk)
- Slow heart rate
- Palpitations
- Nausea
- Edema (swelling)
- Constipation
- Tiredness
- Cold extremities (cold hands or feet)
Additionally, Amlokind-AT may raise potassium levels in the blood. You should avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements during treatment and have your electrolytes monitored regularly.
How Amlokind-AT Tablet Works
Amlokind-AT Tablet is a combination of Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and Atenolol (a beta-blocker). These two medicines work together in different ways:
- Amlodipine relaxes and widens the blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
- Atenolol slows down the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload.
Together, these effects lower blood pressure, reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke, and improve overall cardiovascular health.
