Amlip AT (Cipla) – Uses and Side Effects (200 words)

Amlip AT is a prescription medication from Cipla that combines two active ingredients: Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and Atenolol (a beta-blocker). It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent heart-related complications like angina (chest pain), heart attacks, and strokes.

Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Atenolol helps slow down the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues.
