AMTAS AT 25MG
Product Description
AMTAS AT 25MG tablet contains AMLODIPINE + ATENOLOL, a prescription antihypertensive combination used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (heart-related chest pain), especially when a single medicine alone does not provide adequate control. It combines a calcium channel blocker with a beta-blocker, helping relax blood vessels while also slowing the heart rate and reducing cardiac workload. AMTAS AT 25MG tablet is commonly available in strengths such as 5 mg/25 mg and 5 mg/50 mg, with dosing based on blood pressure response, pulse rate, and associated heart disease. Regular use helps reduce the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, and worsening angina while providing smoother 24-hour cardiovascular protection.
Pharmacist Note
Take AMTAS AT 25MG tablet once daily at the same time every day, preferably after checking your blood pressure and pulse regularly as advised by your doctor. Do not stop it suddenly, as this may cause rebound high blood pressure, chest pain, or a fast heartbeat. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions because dizziness can happen in the first few days.
