Quick Overview:
Amlodac AT is a combination anti-hypertensive medication that effectively controls blood pressure when single agents are insufficient. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens constricted peripheral blood vessels. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that acts selectively on the heart to reduce heart rate and block stress hormones like adrenaline. Together, they significantly lower peripheral resistance and reduce the heart's workload.

Uses / Indications
Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure).
Management and prevention of Angina Pectoris (chronic, heart-related chest pain).
Key Benefits
Dual-action mechanism leads to much tighter blood pressure regulation than monotherapy.
Improves oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, reducing the frequency of chest pain episodes.
Substantially minimizes long-term risks of future life-threatening events such as heart attacks, strokes, and chronic kidney disease.

Do not stop taking the drug suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can cause rebound high blood pressure.
Common: Headache, dizziness, ankle swelling (edema), tiredness, cold extremities, nausea, constipation, slow heart rate, and sleepiness.
