About
AMLOSAFE AT combines Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, with Atenolol, a beta-1 selective adrenergic blocker. This combination is prescribed for the treatment of essential hypertension and angina pectoris. Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart. Atenolol reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions, thereby decreasing the heart's workload and oxygen demand. Together, these two agents provide a synergistic effect, offering comprehensive control over blood pressure and reducing the frequency and severity of angina attacks, particularly in patients who require more than one medication to achieve therapeutic goals.
