About Asomex AT Tablet

Asomex AT Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the walls of blood vessels. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Asomex AT Tablet consists of Atenolol and S-Amlodipine. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that 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.' It relaxes the 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 thus preventing chest pain.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Asomex AT Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, tiredness, stomach upset/constipation, cold hands or feet, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, headache, sleepiness, palpitations (pounding of the heart), and swelling of the ankles or feet. Most of these side effects of Asomex AT Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Asomex AT Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver or heart diseases (aortic stenosis), diabetes, asthma, and thyroid diseases. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling and controls blood pressure. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Asomex AT Tablet can be prescribed accordingly.

It relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. S-amlodipine also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen thus preventing chest pain.

  • Do regular physical activity or exercise for at least 150 minutes per week, or about 30 minutes, most days of the week. Doing this can help you to lower your raised blood pressure by about 5 mm of Hg.

  • Limit sodium chloride intake (table salt) in your daily diet to 2300 mg per day or less than 1500 mg is ideal for most adults.

  • If you are taking alcohol, use only one serving for women and two servings for men.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nosebleeds, vomiting and chest pain.
