Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Nilol Tablet 10’s treats hypertension (high blood pressure), consisting of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline), thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias).  Atenolol also protects the heart during the treatment of a heart attack.  Nifedipine works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results. Thus, Nilol Tablet 10’s reduces raised blood pressure by minimizing fluid overload (oedema) and reducing the heart’s blood-pumping activity.
