One of its parts, atenolol, can slow down fetal growth and cause low birth weight, a sluggish heart rate, or low blood sugar in babies.
There isn't a lot of information about amlodipine, however it might be okay to use if the advantages outweigh the hazards.
While you're pregnant, you should only take this medicine under the care of a doctor.
If you are pregnant or trying to becoming pregnant, you should always talk to your doctor before starting or continuing the drug.
Expert advice:
It's best to take this tablet at the same time every day, in the morning.
Don't stop taking it all at once, as this could cause your blood pressure to rise quickly or angina (chest pain).
Do not drink alcohol while taking this drug since it can make you more likely to get dizzy and pass out.
During treatment, keep an eye on your heart rate and blood pressure on a regular basis.
Tell your doctor if you have problems with your kidneys, liver, or heart before starting therapy.
Unless your doctor tells you to, don't use salt replacements or potassium supplements.
Slowly get up from sitting or lying down to avoid feeling dizzy when your blood pressure drops suddenly.

How to use:
Follow your doctor's instructions completely when you take Amlopres AT 25 Tablet.
Do not crush or chew it; just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
You can take it with or without food, but you should always take it the same way every day.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, don't take the one you missed; just take the following one.
Even if you feel OK, keep taking the prescription because high blood pressure typically doesn't have any symptoms.
How it works:
Amlopres AT 25 Tablet is a combination of two drugs that lower blood pressure and make the heart healthier.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that opens up and relaxes blood vessels, which lowers pressure and improves blood flow.
Atenolol is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and makes the heart work less hard.
They work well together to control high blood pressure, ease heart strain, and stop angina episodes.
Faq for medicine:
Amlopres AT 25 Tablet: Can it be taken when pregnant?
Use only if you are told to. Long-term use of atenolol may be bad for the fetus. Always talk to your doctor.
Q2: Is it safe for me to drive after taking Amlopres AT 25 Tablet?
Don't drive until you know how the drug makes you feel. It could make you feel dizzy or sleepy.
Q3. What should I do if I forget to take my medicine?
Take it right away. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip it. Don't take two dosages at the same time.
Q4. Is it okay to drink alcohol while taking this medicine?
No. Drinking alcohol makes the blood pressure-lowering impact stronger and can make you feel dizzy or faint.
Q5. When will this drug make me feel better?
You might see some changes in a few hours, but you might not see all the benefits for 1–2 weeks of frequent use.
Q6. Does Amlopres AT 25 make you want to do it again?
No, it doesn't make you want to do it again.
Medicine interaction:
Other blood pressure-lowering medicines (may make blood pressure drop too much)
NSAIDs (such as Ibuprofen and Diclofenac) might make the blood pressure-lowering action less strong.
Antiarrhythmic medicines, such as Verapamil and Amiodarone, may lead to significant bradycardia.
Atenolol can hide the signs of low blood sugar when you take insulin or oral diabetic treatments.
Calcium supplements may make Amlodipine less effective.
Alcohol can make you more likely to feel dizzy and pass out.
Always tell your doctor about all the vitamins, herbs, and drugs you take.
