MLOVAS AT TAB

About MLOVAS AT is a fixed-dose combination medication comprising Amlodipine and Atenolol, specifically designed for the comprehensive management of essential hypertension and associated cardiovascular conditions. Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, exerts its therapeutic effect by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, leading to significant peripheral vasodilation. This action effectively reduces peripheral vascular resistance and systemic blood pressure, while also improving myocardial oxygen supply. Atenolol, a beta-1 selective adrenergic blocker, acts by reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, thereby further lowering blood pressure and decreasing cardiac workload. This synergistic combination targets multiple physiological pathways involved in blood pressure regulation, offering enhanced antihypertensive efficacy and improved cardiovascular protection, making it particularly beneficial for patients who require more than one agent to achieve adequate blood pressure control and manage angina. Uses Management of essential hypertension. Treatment of angina pectoris, especially when associated with hypertension. Reduction of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients. Patients requiring multiple antihypertensive agents for adequate control. Directions For Use Take this medication orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by your doctor.

Pregnancy - Not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to potential fetal harm. Consult your doctor. Breastfeeding - Both Amlodipine and Atenolol are excreted in breast milk. Avoid breastfeeding or consult your doctor due to potential effects on the infant. Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment. Dosage adjustments may be necessary, especially for Amlodipine, and liver function should be monitored. Kidney - Use with caution in patients with renal impairment. Dosage adjustments may be necessary, especially for Atenolol, and renal function should be monitored. Lung - Use with extreme caution in patients with bronchial asthma, COPD, or other obstructive airway diseases due to the beta-blocking component (Atenolol).
