Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); management of angina pectoris (chest pain) in patients requiring combination therapy
How It Works
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, reducing peripheral resistance and blood pressure. Atenolol is a beta-1 selective blocker that slows heart rate and decreases cardiac output, lowering blood pressure and reducing angina symptoms.
Directions for Use
Take orally as directed by physician, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
Prescription only (Schedule H). Use with caution in heart failure, conduction disorders (AV block), severe bradycardia, hypotension, and peripheral vascular disease. Beta-blocker component may mask symptoms of hypoglycaemia in diabetics; monitor glucose. Caution in asthma/COPD (beta-blockers may worsen bronchospasm, though atenolol is cardioselective). Do not discontinue abruptly (risk of rebound angina/hypertension). Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly; dose adjustment may be needed in renal impairment (atenolol).
