Stamlo Beta Tablet

Stamlo Beta Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of high blood pressure as well as angina, which is chest pain related to the heart. It combines two medicines in one formulation and is generally prescribed when a single drug is not enough to bring blood pressure under control. By lowering and stabilizing blood pressure, it reduces the risk of complications like stroke, heart attack, and other related health problems.

How it should be taken
This tablet can be consumed with or without meals, but it is important to take it at the same time each day to get the most benefit. It should only be stopped on a doctor’s advice, even if you feel better, as uncontrolled blood pressure usually has no noticeable symptoms and may worsen if treatment is suddenly discontinued. Adopting healthy lifestyle measures like exercising regularly, eating nutritious food, and maintaining a healthy weight will also improve its effectiveness.

Possible effects
While taking this medicine, some people may experience headache, a slow heartbeat, nausea, flushing, dizziness, or swelling of the feet and ankles. It can sometimes cause tiredness, constipation, palpitations, or a sensation of coldness in the hands and feet. These reactions are usually mild and may go away as the body adjusts, but you should inform your doctor if they persist or become troublesome.

Precautions
Tell your doctor if you suffer from any kidney, heart, or liver conditions before starting this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use this treatment after seeking medical guidance. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you may be taking, particularly those for blood pressure, heart problems, or electrolyte balance. Because this medicine may raise potassium levels, potassium supplements or foods rich in potassium should not be taken unless recommended by your doctor.

Uses
Doctors usually prescribe this tablet for managing high blood pressure and for preventing or relieving angina episodes.

Benefits
The combination of Amlodipine and Atenolol works together to reduce blood pressure effectively. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, while Atenolol slows down the heart rate and reduces the force with which the heart pumps. This dual action lowers strain on the heart, enhances circulation, and keeps blood pressure under better control. Long-term use, as directed by your doctor, helps in reducing the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney-related complications.

Directions for use
Swallow the tablet whole with water, without chewing, breaking, or crushing it. It is generally recommended to take this medicine on an empty stomach.

Mode of action
This medicine contains two active components. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that decreases heart rate and workload on the heart. Together, they make blood circulation more efficient and help reduce both blood pressure and chest pain symptoms.

Safety considerations
Alcohol should be avoided while on this medicine, as it may increase the chances of side effects. Driving or operating machines may not be safe because dizziness, headaches, or tiredness are common reactions. In patients with liver or kidney problems, careful monitoring and sometimes dose adjustments are required. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is best to consult your doctor, as this medicine may not be suitable.

If a dose is missed
In case you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is almost due, skip the missed one and continue with your usual routine. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for the missed dose.
