Atenolol 25 mg
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); prevention and management of angina pectoris; control of heart rate in certain tachyarrhythmias as prescribed; secondary prevention after myocardial infarction as advised by doctor.
Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It reduces heart rate and the force of contraction and lowers renin release, thereby decreasing blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand.
Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice; dose may need tapering.
Common side effects of ATENOVA 25 may include:
Use with caution in diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), asthma/COPD (may cause bronchospasm), peripheral vascular disease, and in patients with conduction disorders (AV block) or bradycardia. Do not stop abruptly due to risk of rebound hypertension/angina. Dose adjustment may be required in renal impairment. Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly.
