Description
Atenolol 50mg tablets are a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and to improve survival after a heart attack.
They belong to a class of drugs called beta-blockers.
Atenolol works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload and oxygen demand.
This helps lower blood pressure and prevent chest pain.
The tablets are taken orally, usually once or twice daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects may include tiredness, dizziness, cold extremities, and slow heart rate.
Contraindications include certain heart conduction disorders, severe bradycardia, uncontrolled heart failure, and hypersensitivity to atenolol.
It should be used with caution in patients with asthma, diabetes, or peripheral arterial disease.
Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is advised during treatment.
Tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
