Amlip At Tablet 10's

Amlip AT Tablet contains Amlodipine (5mg) and Atenolol (50mg), a combination used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina).

Benefits

This medicine helps control high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, which reduces the heart's workload. It also helps relieve chest pain and lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. Regular use supports long-term cardiovascular health and can improve exercise tolerance.
