Amtas AT 25 Tablet is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients, Amlodipine and Atenolol. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure, while Atenolol is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and reduces the workload on the heart. Together, they help to reduce high blood pressure and lower the risk of future heart attack and stroke.
To use Amtas AT 25 Tablet, you should take it at the same time every day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole, without chewing, crushing or breaking it. It's important to continue taking this medicine as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Don't stop taking the medicine on your own as it can worsen your condition.
In addition to taking the medicine, you should also make lifestyle changes to help control your blood pressure, such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a healthy diet. You may experience side effects such as headache, ankle swelling, slow heart rate, and nausea, so it's important to be aware of how the medicine affects you before driving or operating heavy machinery.
This medicine may also increase the level of potassium in your blood, so you should avoid consuming potassium-rich foods or supplements without consulting your doctor. You may need to have regular monitoring of your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels while taking this medicine.
If you have any liver or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor before taking Amtas AT 25 Tablet. You should also inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions.
