Atenolol, a synthetic beta1-selective adrenoreceptor blocking agent, is commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart-related chest pain. By modulating the response to nerve impulses in specific areas of the body, particularly the heart, it effectively slows down the heart rate and reduces blood pressure.

Atenolol is administered either alone or in combination with other medications to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also prescribed to help prevent chest pain (angina) and reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks. The typical adult dosage for hypertension consists of an initial 50 mg oral dose once daily, with a maintenance dose of 50 to 100 mg orally once daily. The maximum daily dose is 100 mg. For angina pectoris, the initial dose is 50 mg orally once daily, with a potential increase to 100 mg orally once daily after 1 week if the desired response is not achieved.

Caution
What's In It
Warning
If you have a severe heart condition like “AV block,”(a medical term for a slowed heart rate that occurs because of a malfunction with the heart’s electrical system), extremely slow heartbeats, or heart failure, it is not recommended to use Atenolol. It is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant or if you become pregnant while taking this medication, as it may pose a risk to the unborn baby. Atenolol can also pass into breast milk and potentially harm a nursing baby, so it is crucial to inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Additionally, it is worth noting that Atenolol is not approved for individuals under the age of 18.
