Amlopres-AT Tablet contains two active ingredients that contribute towards its effective management of high blood pressure and angina:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient acts as a calcium channel blocker. It works by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells. This action leads to relaxation of blood vessels, reducing peripheral vascular resistance, and easing the workload on your heart.
• Atenolol (50 mg): Classified as a beta-blocker, atenolol competes with catecholamines (such as adrenaline) by binding to beta-1 adrenergic receptors present in the heart and blood vessels. As a result, it causes a reduction in heart rate and contractility, along with a decrease in cardiac output. This action aids in lowering blood pressure.

The combined effect of these two components effectively manages high blood pressure and reduces the frequency of angina attacks.
