Betacard-AM 5mg/50mg Tablet

Product Description

Betacard-AM 5mg/50mg Tablet is a prescription medication formulated to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). This combination therapy integrates two active ingredients, Amlodipine and Atenolol, working together to provide better cardiovascular protection when a single medicine is insufficient. By reducing blood pressure, it helps lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension.

Key Benefits:

• Hypertension Management: Helps relax blood vessels and improve heart efficiency, lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular risk.

• Angina Relief: Enhances blood flow to the heart, minimizing chest pain and improving daily physical activity.

• Heart Protection: Supports overall heart health and reduces the likelihood of heart-related events over time.

• Dual Mechanism: Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels while Atenolol slows the heart rate, making the heart’s work easier.

Uses:

• Control of high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Prevention and management of angina

• Reducing risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes

How It Works:
Betacard-AM 5mg/50mg Tablet combines two active agents with complementary mechanisms:

• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing pressure.

• Atenolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate, decreasing the heart’s workload and lowering blood pressure. Together, they provide effective long-term cardiovascular support.
