Hypertension (high blood pressure), Angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease

Atenolol is a selective beta-1 blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure and heart workload. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Together they provide better BP control and reduce angina symptoms.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow whole with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Dizziness, headache, fatigue, slow heart rate (bradycardia), ankle/leg swelling (peripheral edema), flushing, nausea, cold hands/feet

Do not stop abruptly (may worsen angina or cause rebound hypertension). Use with caution in asthma/COPD (may cause bronchospasm), diabetes (may mask hypoglycemia symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, thyroid disorders, and in patients with low heart rate, heart block, or heart failure unless advised by a cardiologist. Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly; may cause dizziness—avoid driving if affected.

Other antihypertensives (additive BP lowering), verapamil/diltiazem (risk of severe bradycardia/heart block), digoxin (bradycardia), antiarrhythmics like amiodarone (conduction issues), NSAIDs (may reduce antihypertensive effect), clonidine (rebound hypertension if stopped improperly), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masked hypoglycemia), alcohol (increased dizziness)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
