HOW ATENOL TABLET WORKS ATENOL TABLET contains a medicine called atenolol. This belongs to a group of medicines called Beta - blockers. It works by making your heart beat more slowly and with less force. BEFORE YOU USE ATENOL TABLET _- When you must not take it _ If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to atenolol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. Before using ATENOL TABLET, tell your doctor, if you ever had any of the following heart problems: - Heart failure which is not under control (this usually makes you breathless and causes your ankle to swell) - Second or third degree heart block (a condition which may be treated by a pacemaker) - Very slow or uneven heart beats, very low blood pressure or very poor circulation You have a tumour called phaeochromocytoma that is not being treated. This is usually near your kidney and can cause high blood pressure. If you are being treated for phaeochromocytoma your doctor will give you another medicine, called an alpha- blocker, to take as well as ATENOL TABLET. You have been told that you have higher than normal levels of acid in your blood (metabolic acidosis) Do not take ATENOL TABLET if any of the above apply to you.

Page 1 of 4 [Revision Date: 28.05.2019] ATENOL DESCRIPTION: ATENOL FILM COATED TABLET 50MG: White, round, convex, plain on both sides, film coated tablet. ATENOL FILM COATED TABLET 100MG: 10mm Round biconvex scored on one side and plain on other side, orange-film coated tablet COMPOSITION: Atenol Film Coated Tablet 50mg : Each tablet contains 50mg Atenolol Atenol Film Coated Tablet 100mg: Each tablet contains 100mg Atenolol PHARMACODYNAMICS: Atenolol is a beta-blocker which is beta1-selective (i.e. acts preferentially on beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart). Selectivity decreases with increasing dose. Atenolol is without intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilising activities and as with other beta-blockers, has negative inotropic effects (and is therefore contraindicated in uncontrolled heart failure). As with other beta-blockers, the mode of action of atenolol in the treatment of hypertension is unclear. It is probably the action of atenolol in reducing cardiac rate and contractility which makes it effective in eliminating or reducing the symptoms of patients with angina. It is unlikely that any additional ancillary properties possessed by S (-) atenolol, in comparison with the racemic mixture, will give rise to different therapeutic effects. Atenolol is effective and well-tolerated in most ethnic populations although the response may be less in black patients. Atenolol is effective for at least 24 hours after a single oral dose. The drug facilitates compliance by its acceptability to patients and simplicity of dosing. The narrow dose range and early patient response ensure that the effect of the drug in individual patients is quickly demonstrated. Atenolol is compatible with diuretics, other hypotensive agents and antianginal agents (see_ Interactions_). Since it acts preferentially on beta-receptors in the heart, Atenolol may, with care, be used successfully in the treatment of patients with respiratory disease, who cannot tolerate non-selective beta-blockers.
