Ateno 100 Mg Tablets

Ateno 100 Mg Tablets

Description:

Ateno 100 mg tablets are a prescription cardiovascular medicine containing atenolol, a cardioselective beta-adrenergic blocker. They are primarily used for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and long-term treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain due to coronary artery disease). By selectively blocking beta(1)-adrenergic receptors in the heart, Ateno 100 mg helps reduce heart rate, cardiac workload, and blood pressure, thereby lowering the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack and stroke when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. These film-coated tablets are intended for adult patients and must be used under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults, as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
• Long-term management of chronic stable angina pectoris to reduce the frequency and severity of anginal attacks and improve exercise tolerance.
• Adjunct therapy in patients where beta-blockade is indicated to reduce cardiac workload and myocardial oxygen demand, as assessed by a physician.
• May be used for migraine prophylaxis at doses of 50–100 mg/day as directed by a physician (off-label use depends on local guidelines and doctor’s judgment).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Atenolol – 100 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: Film-coating and tablet core excipients (such as fillers, binders, disintegrants, and colorants) are present but the exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Refer to the package leaflet for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Route of administration: Oral (by mouth).
• Adults – Hypertension: Usual dose is 50–100 mg once daily, as prescribed by the doctor. Dose may be adjusted based on blood pressure response and clinical condition.
• Adults – Angina pectoris: 50–100 mg once daily for long-term management, according to physician’s instructions.
• Adults – Migraine prophylaxis: 50–100 mg per day, only if specifically prescribed by a physician for this indication.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, at the same time each day. They can be taken with or without food, but taking them consistently in the same manner is recommended.
• Do not crush or chew the film-coated tablets unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Do not stop taking Ateno 100 mg tablets suddenly without medical advice, as abrupt discontinuation may worsen angina, cause rebound hypertension, or other cardiac events. Dose should be tapered gradually under medical supervision.
• Dosage in elderly patients or those with kidney impairment may need adjustment; follow your doctor’s specific recommendations.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps effectively lower elevated blood pressure, contributing to reduced risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular complications when used long term.
• Reduces frequency and intensity of angina attacks by decreasing heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand.
• Provides cardioselective beta(1)-blockade, generally with less effect on bronchial beta(2) receptors at usual doses compared with non-selective beta-blockers.
• Helps stabilize heart workload and improve exercise tolerance in patients with chronic stable angina.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to atenolol or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, second- or third-degree heart block, sick sinus syndrome (unless a functioning pacemaker is present), cardiogenic shock, and overt cardiac failure not controlled by appropriate therapy.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, Prinzmetal’s angina, or conduction disorders; close medical monitoring is required.
• May mask signs of hypoglycemia (such as tachycardia) in diabetic patients; blood glucose monitoring is recommended.
• Use with caution in patients with bronchospastic disease (e.g., asthma, COPD); although cardioselective, atenolol can affect beta(2) receptors at higher doses.
• May worsen symptoms of peripheral arterial circulatory disorders (e.g., Raynaud’s phenomenon).
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Beta-blockers may affect fetal growth and neonatal circulation; use only if clearly needed and under strict medical supervision.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding; atenolol is excreted in breast milk and may affect the nursing infant.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially other antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, calcium channel blockers (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem), clonidine, digoxin, or medications affecting heart rhythm and blood pressure.
• May cause dizziness or fatigue; use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision; it is a prescription-only medicine and must be used exactly as directed by a physician.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: Fatigue, dizziness, cold extremities (hands and feet), slow heart rate (bradycardia), gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea), and sleep disturbances.
• Less common side effects: Depression, mood changes, shortness of breath, muscle weakness, decreased exercise tolerance, and sexual dysfunction.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): Severe bradycardia, fainting, worsening chest pain, severe shortness of breath, signs of heart failure (swelling of legs, sudden weight gain, severe fatigue), or allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling of face or throat, or difficulty breathing.
• If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms while taking Ateno 100 mg tablets, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
