AMLOPRES AT 25 TABLET

Amlopres AT 25 Tablet is an anti-hypertensive medication that is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the blood pressure against the artery walls becomes too high. This can lead to damaged blood vessels, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other problems.

Amlopres AT 25 Tablet contains Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and Atenolol (a beta-blocker). Amlodipine acts by relaxing and widening the constricted blood vessels. This ultimately reduces the heart’s workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Atenolol works by blocking stress hormones like adrenaline and epinephrine, thereby slowing down the increased heart rate. Thus, it helps lower raised blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke in the future.
