Amlodipine + Atenolol

Amlodipine + Atenolol is a combination amlodipine- a calcium channel blocker and atenolol- a beta blocker.

Amlodipine + Atenolol is indicated in the following conditions-
  • Patients with essential hypertension
  • Patients with angina pectoris & hypertension as co-existing diseases
  • ln post myocardial infarction patients
  • ln patients with refractory angina pectoris where nitrate therapy has failed.
 

Amlodipine with Atenolol 5/25 mg tablet once daily is the suggested dosage. The dosage may be increased to 5/25 mg two tablets day if necessary, or as directed by the doctors. However, the dosage should be tailored to the individual.
