Lercanidipine HCL./Atenolol

Atenolol is used in the treatment of angina, arrhythmia, heart attack and increased blood pressure.

Atenolol works by blocking tiny areas called the beta-adrenergic receptors, where messages sent by some nerves are received by the heart and blood vessels. Atenolol causes the heart beats more slowly and with less force. Thus leading to pressure of blood within your blood vessels to be reduced and it is easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.

Patients who take Atenolol may suffer from such side effects;

Nausea,
Headache,
Fatigue,
Slow heart rate,
Breathlessness,
Diarrhoea,
Palpitations,
Abdominal pain,
Dizziness,
Constipation

Lercanidipine is used in the treatment of hypertension.

Lercanidipine is known as a calcium channel blocker. Lercanidipine works by affecting the way calcium passes into certain muscle cells in your blood vessels. The muscle cells need calcium to contract. Lacidipine reduces the amount of calcium that goes into these muscle cells which causes the muscle cells to relax. This then lowers the blood pressure by widening the blood vessels.

Patients who take Lercanidipine may suffer from such side effects;

Fatigue,
Ankle swelling,
Headache,
Nausea,
Dizziness,
Palpitations,
Sleepiness,
Flushing,
Edema,
Abdominal pain
