STAMLO BETA TAB 15

About

STAMLO BETA TAB is a combination medication containing Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and Atenolol, a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. Amlodipine works by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, leading to peripheral vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. Atenolol reduces heart rate and myocardial contractility, further decreasing cardiac output and blood pressure. This synergistic action provides comprehensive control for conditions like hypertension and angina pectoris, especially when monotherapy is insufficient.

This fixed-dose combination is often prescribed to improve patient compliance and offers robust cardiovascular protection. It is particularly beneficial for patients who require both a calcium channel blocker and a beta-blocker to achieve their target blood pressure or manage co-existing cardiac conditions. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is essential to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes and safety.
