Atenolol 25mg Tablets - Blood Pressure & Heart Rate Control, 28 Tablets
Atenolol 25mg Tablets are a type of beta-blocker used to treat hypertension and certain heart conditions. Atenolol works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, which reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and the overall workload on the heart. This makes Atenolol particularly useful in managing high blood pressure, preventing angina (chest pain), and improving the chances of survival after a heart attack.
Each tablet contains 25mg of Atenolol, which is typically prescribed for patients with mild to moderate hypertension or those who need to control their heart rate. Atenolol is also beneficial in preventing arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) and reducing the risk of further heart complications.
How to Use Atenolol 25mg Tablets
Take one Atenolol 25mg tablet daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended.

- Not recommended for individuals with asthma or severe bradycardia (slow heart rate).
- Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney conditions.
- Gradual dose reduction is advised if discontinuing the medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
