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.
How It Works
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.
Directions for Use
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.
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.
Drug Interactions
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)
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
