About Lotpol AT 50mg/50mg Tablet

ATENOLOL+LOSARTAN belongs to a class of combination drug called 'anti-hypertensive'  primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the blood pressure against the artery walls becomes too high. This can lead to damaged blood vessels leading to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other problems.

ATENOLOL+LOSARTAN is a combination drug containing Losartan (angiotensin II receptor blockers) and Atenolol (a beta-blocker). Losartan works by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II thereby preventing blood vessels from narrowing, lowering the blood pressure, and improving the overall blood flow. Atenolol works by blocking stress hormones like adrenaline and epinephrine, thereby slowing down the increased heart rate. Thus, it collectively helps lower raised blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke in the future.
