Atenolol Tablets

Atenolol Tablets are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and to improve heart function after a heart attack. Each tablet contains atenolol, a beta-blocker that works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, which slows down the heart rate and reduces blood pressure. This reduces the heart’s workload and helps manage symptoms of angina. Atenolol is usually taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and cold extremities. It is important to take atenolol as prescribed and not to stop abruptly without consulting a doctor, as sudden discontinuation can lead to worsening symptoms or other complications. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential.
