Product introduction
Amodep AT Tablet pairs two well-established heart medicines, amlodipine and atenolol, into a single dose for people whose blood pressure needs support from more than one direction. Amlodipine eases the tension in blood vessel walls while atenolol calms the heart's own pace, and together they aim to keep both pressure and rhythm under better control. Manufactured by FDC Ltd, it comes as a strip of 15 tablets meant for regular, doctor-directed use rather than occasional relief. Anyone starting this combination should be under a physician's supervision, since stopping either component abruptly can affect the heart.
Storage: Store below 30°C, away from direct light and moisture
