AMLONG A 25mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Atenolol and Amlodipine. Atenolol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers, which work by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, reducing the heart rate and relaxing the blood vessels. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing for easier blood flow and lowering blood pressure. This combination is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). AMLONG A 25mg effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart, improving overall cardiovascular health.
