Atpark 50 mg Tablet

Atpark 50 mg Tablet contains Atenolol (50mg). Prescription required.

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain), and control of heart rate in certain tachyarrhythmias; also used after myocardial infarction to reduce cardiac workload as advised by a doctor.

Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It reduces heart rate, force of contraction, and cardiac output, thereby lowering blood pressure and decreasing oxygen demand of the heart.

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Dizziness, fatigue, slow heart rate (bradycardia), cold hands/feet, low blood pressure, nausea, sleep disturbances

Use with caution in asthma/COPD (may worsen bronchospasm), diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), thyroid disorders, peripheral vascular disease, and in patients with slow pulse/heart block or heart failure unless advised. Do not abruptly discontinue (risk of rebound hypertension/angina). Monitor blood pressure and pulse. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney impairment.

Other antihypertensives (additive hypotension), calcium channel blockers like verapamil/diltiazem (risk of bradycardia/heart block), digoxin (bradycardia), antiarrhythmics like amiodarone (conduction effects), NSAIDs (may reduce antihypertensive effect), clonidine (rebound hypertension on withdrawal), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masks hypoglycaemia), alcohol (increases dizziness)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
