Amcard-AT – Strip of 15 Tablets

Description

Amcard-AT Strip of 15 Tablets

Amcard-AT is a combination medication formulated to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart-related conditions. It contains two active pharmaceutical ingredients: Amlodipine and Atenolol, which work together to improve heart function and control blood pressure effectively.

Composition

Each uncoated tablet contains:

• Amlodipine Besilate IP
  Equivalent to Amlodipine: 5 mg

• Atenolol IP: 50 mg

Description

Amcard-AT combines a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine) and a beta-blocker (Atenolol) to provide dual action in controlling hypertension.

• Amlodipine relaxes and widens the blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing pressure on the heart.

• Atenolol slows the heart rate and decreases the heart’s workload by blocking certain stress hormones (like adrenaline).

Together, this combination helps in maintaining stable blood pressure, reducing chest pain (angina), and preventing complications such as stroke, heart attack, or kidney damage associated with prolonged high blood pressure.

Uses

Amcard-AT is generally prescribed for:

• High blood pressure

• Angina (chest pain)

• Long-term management of heart-related conditions

• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients

Benefits

• Provides two-way control of blood pressure

• Improves blood circulation

• Reduces strain on the heart

• Helps prevent hypertension-related complications

How it Works

• Amlodipine blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, causing relaxation of blood vessels.

• Atenolol reduces heart rate and cardiac output.

This combination results in reduced blood pressure, enhanced blood flow, and lower oxygen demand of the heart.

General Information

• Usually taken once daily, or as prescribed

• Should be taken at the same time each day

• Not to be stopped suddenly without medical advice

• Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture
