Uses

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Medicinal Benefits

Bristan AT Tablet belongs to a class of combination drug called 'anti-hypertensive'  primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Bristan AT Tablet is a combination drug containing Losartan (angiotensin II receptor blockers) and Atenolol (a beta-blocker). Losartan works by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II thereby preventing blood vessels from narrowing, lowering the blood pressure, and improving the overall blood flow. Besides this, it also protects your kidneys if you have both kidney disease and diabetes. Atenolol works by blocking stress hormones like adrenaline and epinephrine, thereby slowing down the increased heart rate. Thus, it collectively helps lower raised blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke in the future.
