Management of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain), control of heart rate in certain tachyarrhythmias; may be used after myocardial infarction as advised by physician

Atenolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It reduces heart rate and the force of heart contraction, lowering cardiac workload and oxygen demand. This helps reduce blood pressure and relieves angina symptoms.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. Usually taken orally once daily at the same time each day, with or without food; swallow tablet with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

bradycardia (slow pulse), dizziness, fatigue, cold hands/feet, low blood pressure, nausea, headache

Do not stop abruptly (may worsen angina/trigger heart problems). Use with caution in asthma/COPD (may cause bronchospasm), diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, thyroid disorders, kidney impairment, and in elderly. Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, second/third-degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, and uncompensated heart failure unless directed. Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly.

Verapamil, diltiazem (risk of bradycardia/heart block), digoxin (bradycardia), clonidine (rebound hypertension on withdrawal), other antihypertensives/diuretics (additive hypotension), NSAIDs (may reduce antihypertensive effect), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masks hypoglycaemia), antiarrhythmics like amiodarone (conduction disturbances)
