ATENINE AM 50/5 Tablets
ATENINE AM 50/5 is a prescription medicine that combines Atenolol 50 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg. It belongs to the class of antihypertensive medicines and is widely prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina pectoris (chest pain). This combination works effectively by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, thereby ensuring smooth blood flow and controlled blood pressure.
Atenolol, a beta-blocker, helps slow down the heart rate and decreases the strain on the heart, while Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes the blood vessels. Together, they provide comprehensive control of hypertension and help prevent severe complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
ATENINE AM 50/5 is usually taken once daily under medical supervision, with or without food. It is important to follow the dosage schedule prescribed by the doctor. Patients should not stop the medication suddenly without consulting their physician, as it may worsen their condition.
Some common side effects may include dizziness, headache, swelling of the ankles, or fatigue, which are usually temporary. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart function is recommended during treatment.
