About
Amtas AT combines Amlodipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, with Atenolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker, offering a dual approach to managing hypertension and angina pectoris. Amlodipine primarily acts by relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels, leading to vasodilation and a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, which effectively lowers blood pressure. Atenolol selectively blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, resulting in a reduction in heart rate and myocardial contractility, thereby decreasing the heart's workload and oxygen demand.
This combined action provides robust blood pressure control and significantly reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks. The complementary mechanisms ensure a more comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it particularly beneficial for patients who require both blood pressure and heart rate management, or those with co-existing hypertension and angina.
Uses
- Essential hypertension
- Chronic stable angina pectoris

Safety Measures
- Alcohol - Alcohol can enhance the hypotensive effects and cause increased dizziness. Avoid or limit consumption.

- Breastfeeding - Both components pass into breast milk. Not recommended during breastfeeding.
- Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; dose adjustments may be needed.
- Kidney - Atenolol is primarily excreted by the kidneys; dose adjustment is required in moderate to severe renal impairment.
- Lung - Use with caution in patients with bronchospastic diseases (e.g., asthma) due to atenolol's beta-blocking effects.
