CompositionAxynol AM 5/50 mg Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure and stable angina. It is a combination medicine containing amlodipine and atenolol, belonging to the calcium channel blocker and beta-blocker groups.
Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, while atenolol slows the heart rate and reduces its oxygen demand, together helping to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. This combination is especially useful for people who have both high blood pressure and a fast heart rate.
Reducing salt in your diet, staying active as advised, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting alcohol can support blood pressure control alongside this medicine.
Before starting, tell your doctor if you have asthma or breathing problems, a very slow heart rate, or diabetes, and about all other medicines you take. Mild ankle swelling is common; tell your doctor if it becomes severe.
