Amlodac AT Tablet is taken orally.

Amlodac AT Tablet contains two active ingredients which work together to bring down high blood pressure. Here's how they work:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It blocks the movement of calcium into the heart and blood vessel walls, which relaxes these vessels, reducing their resistance and lowering blood pressure. It also widens coronary and systemic arteries, improving oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and preventing spasms.

• Atenolol (50 mg): This ingredient is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocking agent. It works by preferentially blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors, mainly found in the heart and kidney. This action slows down the heart rate, reduces the force with which heart muscle contracts and decreases cardiac output. This lowers both blood pressure and the amount of oxygen the heart needs to function.

By working in these ways, both components help control high blood pressure and prevent angina.

• If you have hypertension, try to limit your salt intake. Too much salt can raise your blood pressure further.

• Regular physical activity can help lower your blood pressure. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week.
