Tenoclor 50MG Tab

Tablet

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

Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It slows the heart rate and reduces the force of contraction, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s oxygen demand, which helps relieve angina and control certain fast heart rhythms.

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

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

Use with caution in asthma/COPD (may worsen bronchospasm), diabetes (can mask symptoms of low blood sugar), thyroid disorders (can mask symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, and in elderly. Avoid abrupt discontinuation (risk of rebound angina/MI). Monitor heart rate and blood pressure; caution in heart block, severe bradycardia, cardiogenic shock, and uncontrolled heart failure unless directed by a doctor. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney impairment.

Other antihypertensives (additive hypotension), verapamil/diltiazem (risk of bradycardia/heart block), digoxin (bradycardia), amiodarone/antiarrhythmics (conduction disturbances), clonidine (rebound hypertension if stopped improperly), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masked hypoglycemia), NSAIDs like ibuprofen (may reduce antihypertensive effect), anesthetics (enhanced hypotension)

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