Atenolol (atenolol) tablets 50 mg. №20

Atenolol is a medication that contains atenolol as its active ingredient. It is available in the form of tablets, each containing 50mg of atenolol. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are hormones that are responsible for increasing heart rate and blood pressure.

Atenolol belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of beta-blockers and is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart disease), and to prevent and treat heart attacks.

Atenolol works by blocking the beta receptors in the heart and blood vessels, which slows down the heart rate and reduces blood pressure. It also helps to reduce the workload on the heart, which can help to prevent heart attacks and angina.

Atenolol is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, and to prevent and treat heart attacks. However, it is contraindicated in patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypotension (low blood pressure), heart failure, and asthma.

The usual dose of Atenolol for hypertension is 50mg once a day, which can be increased to 100mg once a day if needed. For the treatment of angina pectoris, the usual dose is 50mg once a day, which can be increased to 100mg once a day if needed. Atenolol should be taken at the same time every day, with or without food.

In the case of an overdose, symptoms may include low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and difficulty breathing. If an overdose is suspected, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Adverse reactions to Atenolol may include dizziness, fatigue, depression, nightmares, and gastrointestinal disturbances. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, medical attention should be sought.

Atenolol is available in a package of 20 tablets, which are blister-packed in 10×2 blisters. It should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and light.

It is important to note that Atenolol should only be taken under the guidance of a physician and should not be stopped abruptly without medical advice.
