What is Atenolol?

• Strokes
• Heart attacks
• kidney problems by lowering blood pressure.

• Atenolol tablets can be used alone or with other medications for treating high blood pressure.
• This is also used to treat and improve survival after a heart attack. Atenolol belongs to the class of medication called beta-blockers.
• This works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate for improving the blood flow and decreasing the blood pressure.

• Decreasing hypertension
• Reducing angina
• After a heart attack, reduce the amount of work that the heart muscle has to do for pushing the blood through your body.

• Cold hands and feet
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Shortness in breath
• Leg pain

• Red rash
• Fever
• Swelling of hands
• Trouble breathing

• Before using Atenolol talk to your doctor if you are having any medical history such as:
• Heart rhythm disorders
• Breathing problems
• Blood circulation problems
• Kidney disease

For people with Asthma/ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):

• People with asthma or COPD should generally avoid atenolol. If prescribed, it's usually in small doses with careful monitoring, as higher doses can worsen asthma or COPD symptoms by narrowing the airways. This occurs because atenolol blocks beta receptors in the heart cells, which, in higher doses, can affect the beta receptors in the airways.

• The indicators of dangerously low blood sugar levels can be difficult to detect since atenolol can conceal them, including tremors and an elevated heart rate.

• Poor circulation in your feet and hands may worsen with atenolol, as it reduces blood pressure, potentially limiting blood flow to these areas.

• Protect your medication from heat, air, and light to prevent damage and harmful effects.
• The medication should be kept at room temperature, ideally between 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit (20 and 25 degrees Celsius), and out of the reach of minors.
• Consult your doctor before taking Atenolol and seek medical assistance immediately if you experience any problems or side effects.
• Carry your medication while traveling to address any emergencies promptly.
• Adhere to your prescription and follow your doctor's advice when taking Atenolol.
