Product Introduction:
Amlokind AT Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Amlodipine (5mg) and Atenolol (50mg). Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, while Atenolol is a beta-blocker. This combination medication is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, while Atenolol reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
Amlokind AT Tablet may be taken with or without food. Take it at the same time each day. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor. Even if you feel well, do not stop this medicine on your own because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. If you stop taking it, your condition may get worse. Keeping active with regular exercise, reducing your weight and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. Follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medicine.
It may cause side effects like headache, slow heart rate, and nausea. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. This might raise the level of potassium in the blood, hence avoid potassium rich food or supplements. You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes level while on the treatment.
Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor for advice before taking this medicine. You also need to tell your doctor what other medicines you are taking especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions.
