BP Cura 5mg/50mg Tablet

BP Cura 5mg/50mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains Amlodipine and Atenolol, which relax and widen the constricted blood vessels. This ultimately reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient in pumping blood throughout the body. Also, it blocks stress hormones like adrenaline and epinephrine, thereby slowing down the increased heart rate. Thus, it helps lower high blood pressure, reduces the chances of a heart attack or stroke in the future. It may cause common side effects such as nausea, sleepiness, ankle swelling, headache, palpitations, low blood pressure, cold extremities, flushing (sense of warmth in the ears, face, neck, and trunk), slow heart rate, oedema (swelling), constipation, and tiredness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
