Ateno 50 Mg 20 Tablets

Ateno 50 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Ateno 50 mg 20 tablets is a prescription cardiovascular medicine containing atenolol, a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker. It is primarily used for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and long-term treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris. By selectively blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, Ateno 50 mg helps reduce heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure, thereby decreasing the workload on the heart and improving overall cardiovascular health. This product is intended for adult patients under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults.
• Long-term management of patients with chronic stable angina pectoris (chest pain due to coronary artery disease).
• May be used as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction plan as prescribed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Atenolol – 50 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet core and film-coating agents) are present but not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults (oral use): For hypertension and angina pectoris, the usual dose is 50–100 mg once daily, as directed by the physician.
• Migraine prophylaxis (adults): 50–100 mg per day, as prescribed by the doctor (off-label or according to local guidelines).
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew the film-coated tablets unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Can be taken with or without food, but it is preferable to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Dosage must be individualized based on clinical response and tolerability. Do not change the dose or discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor.
• 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 one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps lower elevated blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular complications.
• Decreases heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand, helping to prevent and control episodes of angina (chest pain).
• Provides cardioselective beta-1 blockade, which generally minimizes bronchial and peripheral vascular effects compared to non-selective beta-blockers at usual doses.
• Contributes to improved long-term cardiovascular health when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to atenolol or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with severe bradycardia, second- or third-degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, overt cardiac failure, or severe hypotension unless specifically managed by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, Prinzmetal’s angina, or conduction disturbances.
• Use with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus, as beta-blockers may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia (such as tachycardia).
• Use with caution in patients with thyroid disorders, as atenolol may mask signs of hyperthyroidism.
• Patients with bronchospastic disease (e.g., asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) should generally avoid beta-blockers; if use is essential, close medical supervision is required.
• Do not discontinue atenolol abruptly, especially in patients with ischemic heart disease, as this may worsen angina or precipitate myocardial infarction. Taper gradually under medical supervision.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Atenolol should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and under strict medical supervision.
• Atenolol is excreted in breast milk; breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including other antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, calcium channel blockers, insulin, oral antidiabetics, and any other prescription or over-the-counter products.
• May cause dizziness or fatigue; use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have kidney impairment, as dose adjustment may be required.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid disorders.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease outside the approved indications.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: fatigue, dizziness, cold extremities, slow heart rate (bradycardia), gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea), and sleep disturbances.
• Less common side effects: depression, shortness of breath, hypotension, muscle weakness, and decreased exercise tolerance.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe bradycardia, marked hypotension, worsening heart failure (shortness of breath, swelling of legs, sudden weight gain), bronchospasm (wheezing, difficulty breathing), or allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face or tongue).
• If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
