Fatigue: This refers to a feeling of tiredness or lack of energy.
Bradycardia: This is a medical term for a slower than normal heart rate.
Edema: This condition leads to swelling in your ankles or feet due to fluid buildup.
Dizziness

Gastrointestinal disturbances, which may include symptoms such as nausea, diarrhoea or constipation.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Espin-AT Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here's how you can manage some common side effects:

Fatigue: If this medicine makes you feel tired, consider taking it at bedtime.
Gastrointestinal disturbances: To minimise these symptoms, try taking Espin-AT Tablet with your meals.

Espin-AT Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to lower blood pressure:

S(-)Amlodipine (2.5 mg): As a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, S-amlodipine lowers blood pressure by relaxing arterial smooth muscle which causes your blood vessels to widen or dilate, leading to reduced peripheral vascular resistance. This mechanism improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart and reduces the burden on your heart.
Atenolol (50 mg): This component acts as a selective beta-1-adrenergic receptor blocker. It reduces the workload on your heart and lowers blood pressure by slowing down your heart rate, reducing the strength of heart muscle contractions, suppressing renin release from your kidneys which in turn decreases angiotensin II formation and aldosterone secretion, and reduces the outflow of certain nervous signals from your brain.

Pregnancy

Espin-AT Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Espin-AT Tablet is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Allergy

Children

Drug-Drug Interactions

Espin-AT Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Antihypertensive Agents: Medicines such as lisinopril or losartan may interact with Espin-AT Tablet, potentially increasing the risk of low blood pressure, also known as hypotension.
Diuretics: When taken together with Espin-AT Tablet, diuretics like chlorthalidone may increase your blood sugar levels.
Antipsychotics: Medicines like chlorpromazine may interact with Espin-AT Tablet, potentially increasing atenolol levels in your body.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs like ibuprofen may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effect of Espin-AT Tablet.
CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Medicines such as itraconazole and ritonavir can increase the level of S-amlodipine in your body.
CYP3A4 Inducers: Certain medications like rifampicin can decrease the level of S-amlodipine in your body.

Drug-Food Interactions

Drug-Disease Interactions

Espin-AT Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: Patients with severe liver impairment should use caution when taking Espin-AT Tablet as atenolol may accumulate due to decreased liver clearance.
Kidney Disease: If you have impaired kidney function, dose adjustment may be required as atenolol is primarily eliminated by the kidneys.
Diabetes: Espin-AT Tablet could impact blood sugar control requiring you to monitor glucose levels closely.
Hyperthyroidism: Atenolol may mask the signs of developing hyperthyroidism, such as a fast heart rate. Abrupt withdrawal may intensify symptoms of hyperthyroidism or trigger a thyroid storm a severe and potentially lifethreatening form of thyrotoxicosis (excessive thyroid hormone in the body).
Heart Diseases: Patients with conditions like cardiogenic shock, second or thirddegree heart block, severe bradycardia (resting heart rate < 45 to 50 bpm), and decompensated heart failure should avoid using Espin-AT Tablet.
