What is the Working Mechanism of Amlodipine and Atenolol Tablets?

The working mechanism of the Amlodipine and Atenolol Tablet has been explained as follows:

Amlodipine 

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels by blocking calcium from entering the muscle cells of the blood vessel walls. When blood vessels relax, blood flows more easily, lowering blood pressure and reducing chest pain (angina).

Atenolol 

Atenolol is a beta-blocker. It works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the force with which the heart pumps blood. This lowers blood pressure and decreases the heart’s oxygen demand, helping prevent chest pain and heart strain.

When used together, amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels while atenolol slows the heart rate. This dual action reduces blood pressure more effectively and decreases the workload on the heart.
