Blokium Diu 15 Tablets

Blokium Diu 15 Tablets

Description:

Blokium Diu 15 Tablets is a prescription cardiovascular medication used in the management of high blood pressure and angina pectoris. It belongs to the class of cardioselective beta-adrenergic blockers and contains atenolol as its active ingredient, which helps reduce heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure. By controlling blood pressure, Blokium Diu supports long-term cardiovascular health and helps reduce the risk of hypertension-related complications when used under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Long-term management of chronic stable angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart).
• Helps reduce cardiovascular workload by lowering heart rate and blood pressure.
• May be used as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction plan as prescribed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Atenolol – 100 mg per tablet (beta-1 selective adrenergic receptor blocker).
• Excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (such as fillers, binders, colorants, and preservatives) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults (hypertension and angina pectoris): Usual oral dose is 50–100 mg once daily, as directed by the prescribing physician.
• Blokium Diu 15 Tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Dosage may be adjusted by the physician based on clinical response, blood pressure control, heart rate, and tolerability.
• Do not stop taking Blokium Diu abruptly without medical advice, as sudden withdrawal may worsen angina or cause rebound hypertension. Dose tapering may be required.
• Use in children: Safety and dosage in pediatric patients are not specified; use only if clearly prescribed by a pediatric cardiologist or specialist.
• 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.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps effectively lower elevated blood pressure, supporting long-term cardiovascular protection.
• Reduces frequency and severity of angina attacks by decreasing myocardial oxygen demand.
• Lowers resting and exercise-induced heart rate, reducing cardiac workload.
• Provides stable 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing, supporting better treatment adherence.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to atenolol or any component of the product.
• Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, second- or third-degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, and overt cardiac failure not controlled by treatment.
• Use with caution in patients with heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, Prinzmetal’s angina, or conduction disorders.
• 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 hyperthyroidism, as beta-blockers may mask clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis.
• Use with caution in patients with bronchospastic disease (e.g., asthma, COPD); although cardioselective, atenolol may still affect beta-2 receptors at higher doses.
• Renal impairment: Dose adjustment may be required in patients with reduced kidney function; follow physician’s instructions.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician after assessing risk–benefit; atenolol can cross the placenta and is excreted in breast milk.
• May cause dizziness or fatigue; caution is advised when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially other antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, calcium channel blockers (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem), and medicines affecting heart rhythm.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, COPD, diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, or circulation problems.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without a physician’s prescription and supervision.
• 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: shortness of breath, depression, decreased exercise tolerance, muscle weakness, or sexual dysfunction.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe dizziness or fainting, very slow heartbeat, worsening chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, swelling of the legs or ankles, or signs of allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling of face/lips/tongue, or difficulty breathing.
• If any side effects are persistent, bothersome, or severe, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
