Used For:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Atenolol is primarily prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, such as adrenaline, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure. By reducing the workload on the heart, atenolol helps to lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart-related complications.
• Angina: Atenolol may also be used to treat angina (chest pain) by improving blood flow to the heart muscle, thus reducing the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
• Heart Conditions: In some cases, atenolol may be prescribed to manage certain heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) or to prevent future heart attacks.

Side Effects:

While atenolol is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals. Common side effects may include:

• Fatigue or weakness
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Cold hands and feet
• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
• Depression or mood changes
• Nausea or vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)
• Sexual dysfunction (such as erectile dysfunction)

Less common but potentially serious side effects may include:

• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Worsening of heart failure symptoms
• Masking of symptoms of low blood sugar in diabetic patients
• Raynaud's phenomenon (cold hands and feet with color changes)
• Changes in blood glucose or cholesterol levels
• Bronchospasm (wheezing or difficulty breathing in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking ATL 50mg tablets, it's important to contact your healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Dosage: Follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless instructed to do so by your healthcare provider.
• Abrupt Discontinuation: Do not stop taking ATL 50mg tablets suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to rebound hypertension, angina, or heart rhythm disturbances.
• Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have a history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Interactions: Atenolol may interact with other medications, including other blood pressure medications, heart medications, and certain antidepressants. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking before starting ATL 50mg tablets.
