Amtas-AT 25 Tablet

Amtas-AT 25 Tablet Overview

Amtas-AT 25 Tablet is a medication used for managing high blood pressure and chest pain related to the heart (angina). It combines two medicines that work together to control blood pressure when a single medicine alone is not sufficient. By lowering blood pressure, it helps decrease the risk of severe heart problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

You can take this tablet with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in your body. Continue using it as prescribed, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure usually does not cause noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medication suddenly can make your condition worse. Along with taking this medicine, following a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management will improve its effectiveness.

Some common side effects include headache, a slower heart rate, swelling, nausea, and tiredness. You may also feel dizzy, so avoid driving or doing activities that need full concentration until you know how the medicine affects you. In some cases, it can raise potassium levels, so avoid foods or supplements rich in potassium unless advised by your doctor. Regular check-ups to monitor your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels may be necessary.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor first. Also, inform them about any other medications you are taking, especially those related to heart or blood pressure issues.

Primary Uses

How it Helps in High Blood Pressure

Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, while Atenolol slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Together, they reduce the risk of complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
