Amlodipine 5 mg + Atenolol 50 mg Tabs- GA
₹53.94
The tablet containing Amlodipine 5 mg + Atenolol 50 mg is a prescription combination medicine used primarily to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (heart-related chest pain).
Key Information
- Active Ingredients: Amlodipine (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol (50 mg), a beta-blocker.
- Mechanism of Action: Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, while Atenolol slows the heart rate and reduces the force of contractions. Together, they make it easier for the heart to pump blood, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload.
- Benefits: Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of future complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. It also helps in preventing angina attacks.
- Usage: It is typically taken once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day, as directed by a healthcare provider.
- Important Warning: Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as this can cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure and lead to serious complications.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are mild or moderate and tend to disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine.
- Headache
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Tiredness or sleepiness
- Swelling of the ankles or legs (edema)
- Nausea
- Slow heart rate
- Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck)
Safety and Precautions
- Alcohol: Consumption of alcohol is considered unsafe with this medication as it may increase the dizzying side effects and lower blood pressure too much.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: This medication is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it may pose a risk to the baby. Consult your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
- Driving: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you, as it may cause dizziness or sleepiness.
- Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or over-the-counter drugs you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Grapefruit juice can also interact with amlodipine and should be avoided.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes may be recommended during treatment.
