Ingredients

• Atenolol 25 mg

Benefits

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Prevention and management of angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart)
• Selected abnormal heart rhythms, when prescribed by a clinician
• Reduction of cardiovascular workload following certain heart conditions, when clinically indicated

Usage & Safety

For Adult

• Take only as prescribed and preferably at the same time each day.
• The usual adult starting dose for hypertension or angina is often 25–50 mg once daily; the dose may be adjusted according to response and kidney function.
• Swallow the tablet with water. It may be taken with or without food, but take it consistently in relation to meals.
• Do not stop atenolol suddenly, especially if used for angina or heart disease, because symptoms may worsen.
• Patients with reduced kidney function, older adults, or a low resting heart rate may require a lower dose.

For Children

• Use in children is not routine and should be directed by a pediatrician or cardiologist.
• Pediatric dosing, when necessary, is weight-based and depends on the condition and kidney function; do not use this 25 mg product in a child without specialist advice.
• Monitor children for slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, dizziness, breathing difficulty, or unusual tiredness.

Side Effects

• Common effects include tiredness, dizziness, weakness, cold hands or feet, slow heartbeat, nausea, and sleep disturbance.
• It may cause low blood pressure, fainting, worsening circulation symptoms, or sexual difficulties.
• Seek urgent medical help for severe breathing difficulty, swelling, fainting, very slow or irregular heartbeat, confusion, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.
• Atenolol may mask warning symptoms of low blood sugar, particularly a rapid heartbeat.

Contraindications

• Do not use in severe slow heartbeat, second- or third-degree heart block, sick sinus syndrome without a pacemaker, cardiogenic shock, or uncontrolled heart failure.
• Use cautiously in asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes, peripheral circulation problems, thyroid disease, depression, or kidney impairment.
• Tell the doctor before surgery or anesthesia, as beta-blockers can affect heart rate and blood pressure.
• Do not use for unexplained chest pain or breathing difficulty without urgent medical assessment.

Precautions & Warnings

• Other medicines that slow the heart or lower blood pressure may increase the risk of excessive bradycardia or hypotension.
• Important interactions may occur with verapamil, diltiazem, digoxin, amiodarone, clonidine, and other antiarrhythmic or beta-blocker medicines.
• Insulin and other diabetes medicines may have their warning symptoms masked; blood glucose monitoring may be needed.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen may reduce the blood-pressure-lowering effect in some patients.
• Tell the doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements before use.

Pregnancy

• Use during pregnancy only when specifically prescribed, because atenolol may affect fetal growth and the newborn's heart rate, blood pressure, or blood sugar.
• Discuss safer alternatives with the doctor if pregnant or planning pregnancy; do not stop treatment suddenly without medical advice.
• Atenolol passes into breast milk and may accumulate in newborn or premature infants. Breastfeeding requires medical assessment and monitoring of the infant for sleepiness, poor feeding, coldness, breathing problems, or a slow heartbeat.
