Product introduction

Asomex-AT Tablet is a combination medicine used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing the blood vessels and making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.

You can take Asomex-AT Tablet at any time of day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Continue taking this medication for as long as your doctor recommends. Even if you feel fine, do not stop on your own, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping suddenly may worsen your condition. Staying active with regular exercise, reducing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure.

Asomex-AT Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, flushing, edema, slow heart rate, palpitations, and tiredness. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, blood sugar level, and electrolyte level while on the treatment.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney issues. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before use. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medications you are taking, particularly those for high blood pressure or heart conditions.

Benefits of Asomex-AT Tablet

In Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Asomex-AT Tablet is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients, S-Amlodipine and Atenolol. Both of the medicines in this combination work to lower blood pressure but in different ways. Together they help to relax blood vessels, reduce heart rate and make it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This lowers blood pressure.
If your blood pressure is controlled you are less at risk of having a heart attack, stroke or kidney problems. The medicine must be taken regularly as prescribed to be effective. You do not usually feel any direct benefit from taking this medicine, but it works in the long term to keep you well. You should also make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine.

I am a patient of hypertension

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Hypertension is clinal condition of high blood pressure. Please see a physician.

At times feel full of anger that results in high blood pressure

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Anger is a natural emotional response to feeling of being wronged and/ or not being able to protect oneself from being wronged. The anger response looses it's relevance when perception of being wronged may be exaggerated or misplaced. It may happen in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders or impulse control disorders etc. Anger management is aimed at identifying the triggers and the thought patterns behind this response. You can start by identifying what makes you angry and why and then start analysing your perceptions. You may see a psychotherapist/psychiatrist to guide you. Some anger issues are biological impulse control issues and one needs medicines to treat them. Treatment of primary psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety and psychosis also mitigates anger.
