S Amlosafe AT 2.5/50 Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure). It consists of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and S-Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol is a 'beta-blocker' and treats high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). It reduces the heart rate and makes the heart pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Atenolol is also used to protect the heart during the treatment of a heart attack. S-Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker' and treats high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. S-Amlodipine also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain.
