Description
Product Introduction
Amodep AT Tablet is a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (heart-related chest pain). It is prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure. The tablet works by lowering blood pressure, which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Amodep AT Tablet can be taken with or without food, but it is advisable to take it at the same time each day. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and continue taking the medicine even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medicine on your own can worsen your condition. Along with medication, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight management, and a healthy diet will help manage your blood pressure effectively.

How Amodep AT Tablet Works
Amodep AT Tablet is a combination of Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol, a beta-blocker. Amlodipine helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow. Atenolol reduces the heart rate and the heart’s workload. Together, these medicines effectively lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, and ease the symptoms of angina.
