🇮🇳 ildomex-at tablet के बारे में (Hindi Summary)

उपयोग: यह दवा उच्च रक्तचाप (हाइपरटेंशन) और एंजाइना (सीने में दर्द) के इलाज के लिए इस्तेमाल की जाती है। यह रक्त वाहिकाओं को आराम देकर और हृदय की गति को धीमा करके रक्तचाप को कम करती है। इसे डॉक्टर के निर्देशानुसार प्रतिदिन एक बार लेना चाहिए।

साइड इफेक्ट्स: आम दुष्प्रभावों में थकान, चक्कर आना, सिरदर्द, पैरों में सूजन, और हृदय गति का धीमा होना शामिल हैं। गंभीर दुष्प्रभाव दुर्लभ हैं लेकिन इनमें बहुत धीमी हृदय गति, सांस लेने में कठिनाई, और बेहोशी शामिल हो सकती है। कोई भी असामान्य लक्षण होने पर तुरंत डॉक्टर से संपर्क करें।

सुरक्षा सलाह: इस दवा को डॉक्टर के बताए अनुसार ही लें। इसे अचानक बंद न करें, क्योंकि इससे रक्तचाप बढ़ सकता है या सीने में दर्द हो सकता है। शराब से बचें क्योंकि इससे चक्कर आ सकते हैं। अगर आपको अस्थमा, मधुमेह, गुर्दे या यकृत की समस्या है, तो डॉक्टर को बताएं। नियमित रूप से रक्तचाप की जांच कराएं।

🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionS-Amlodipine is well absorbed after oral administration, with peak plasma levels reached in 6 to 12 hours. Atenolol is incompletely absorbed, with about 50% bioavailability.
DistributionS-Amlodipine is highly protein-bound and distributes widely into tissues. Atenolol has low protein binding and distributes mainly in extracellular fluid.
Protein BindingS-Amlodipine: approximately 93% bound to plasma proteins. Atenolol: less than 5% bound.
MetabolismS-Amlodipine is extensively metabolized in the liver, primarily by CYP3A4. Atenolol is minimally metabolized in the liver.
Half-LifeS-Amlodipine: 30 to 50 hours. Atenolol: 6 to 7 hours.
ExcretionS-Amlodipine is excreted mainly in urine as metabolites. Atenolol is excreted unchanged in urine.
BioavailabilityS-Amlodipine: approximately 64% to 90%. Atenolol: approximately 50%.
Onset of ActionBlood pressure lowering effect begins within 1 to 2 hours after oral intake.
Peak Plasma TimeS-Amlodipine: 6 to 12 hours. Atenolol: 2 to 4 hours.
Duration of ActionBlood pressure reduction lasts for 24 hours, allowing once-daily dosing.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary actions. S-Amlodipine blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, causing relaxation and widening of blood vessels. Atenolol selectively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate, contractility, and cardiac output. The combined effect lowers blood pressure and decreases myocardial oxygen demand.

Mechanism Steps

1
Calcium channel blockade: S-Amlodipine binds to L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, preventing calcium influx.
2
Vasodilation: Reduced intracellular calcium leads to relaxation of smooth muscle and widening of arterioles.
3
Beta-1 receptor blockade: Atenolol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate and contractility.
4
Reduced cardiac output: The combined effects decrease cardiac output and peripheral resistance, lowering blood pressure.
