Atenolol blocks the effects of adrenaline, the hormone that causes the heart to beat faster. Beta-blockers slow down the heartbeat and make it work harder, which can lead to lower blood pressure.
Hypertension and heart problems are caused by many factors such as family history, a diet high in salt, or being overweight, or being inactive.
To prevent serious conditions such as stroke, heart attack, or blood clots, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, drinking less, and exercising more.
You can swallow the tablets whole by drinking water with or without food. To help you remember, it is best to take the tablet at the same time every day.
The usual dosage for high blood pressure is 100mg once daily. However, your doctor may recommend a lower dose in the case of elderly patients or people with severe kidney disease. The amount of Atenolol you take for heart rhythm or angina will vary. You should always consult your doctor.
You should remember to take your Atenolol tablets if you are late. If this happens, skip the missed dose and go straight to the next one. Do not increase your dose to make up the difference.
You should not take more Atenolol than you need. Contact your nearest emergency department or doctor immediately. An overdose can cause a drop in heart rate and blood pressure as well as tightening of the chest.
