DYNORMIN DESCRIPTION CONTENT DYNORMIN TABLET 50MG MAL19971838AZ MYN1501AA2084 TABLET Colour : White Shape : Round, Biconvex and Scored Coating : Film-coated Each Tablet Contains: Atenolol ........................ 50 mg DYNORMIN TABLET 100MG MAL19913259AZ TABLET Colour : Orange Shape : Round, Biconvex and Scored Marking : “D” Coating : Film-coated Each Tablet Contains: Atenolol ...................... 100 mg PHARMACODYNAMICS: Atenolol is a β-adrenoceptor blocking agent which is cardioselective (i.e. acts preferentially on β-adrenergic receptors in the heart). It is without intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane stabilising activities. It crosses the blood brain barrier only to a negligible extent. Atenolol is effective for at least 24 hours after a single oral dose. PHARMACOKINETICS: Atenolol appears to be incompletely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is not significantly metabolised. It is excreted in the urine and its biological half-life is longer than would be anticipated from its plasma half-life of about 6 to 7 hours. Atenolol diffuses across the placenta and is excreted in the breast milk. Only small amounts are reported to cross the blood- brain-barrier, and it is only about 5% bound to plasma proteins. INDICATION: Control of hypertension. Management of angina pectoris and cardiac dysrhythmias. Prophylaxis of myocardial infraction. RECOMMENDED DOSE: Hypertension: Most patients reported to 50 - 100 mg daily given orally as a single dose. The effect will be fully established after one to two week. Angina: Most patients with angina pectoris will respond to 100 mg daily given orally as a single or divided dose. It is unlikely that additional benefit will be gained by increasing the dose. Dysrhythmias: Having controlled the dysrhythmias with intravenous administration of Atenolol, a suitable oral maintenance dosage is 50 - 100 mg daily, given as a single dose. Myocardial Infarction: Treatment should be given within 12 hours of the onset of chest pain: 5 to 10 mg should be given by I.V. injectio Baca dokumen lengkap
