Lovask-A Tablet 5 mg + 25 mg is a combination cardiovascular medication containing Amlodipine Besilate and Atenolol. It is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). This dual-action therapy combines a calcium channel blocker with a beta-blocker to provide more effective blood pressure control and improved cardiac function. It is especially beneficial for patients who require combination therapy to achieve optimal cardiovascular outcomes.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Amlodipine Besilate equivalent to Amlodipine 5 mg
• Atenolol 25 mg

Mechanism of Action

Lovask-A Tablet works through two complementary mechanisms:

• Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by inhibiting calcium ion entry into smooth muscle cells, reducing vascular resistance.
• Atenolol is a selective beta-1 blocker that slows heart rate and decreases the force of contraction, reducing the heart’s workload and oxygen demand.

Together, they effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of angina episodes.
