TENOLOL AM 50 10S

About

Tenolol AM 50 is a combination medication designed to treat high blood pressure and angina, featuring Atenolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker, and Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. Atenolol reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions, thereby decreasing blood pressure and the heart's oxygen demand. Amlodipine works by relaxing the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily and further lowers blood pressure. This dual action provides comprehensive control over hypertension and helps to prevent angina attacks by improving blood flow to the heart. The synergistic effect of these two agents ensures effective management for patients who require more than one medication to achieve their target blood pressure and symptom control, contributing to improved cardiovascular outcomes and quality of life.
