Tenormin 100mg Tablet contains atenolol as the active ingredient. Atenolol is a beta-blocker used primarily for treating cardiovascular conditions, such as high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). It works by blocking beta receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, which in turn helps to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications. Side Effects: Common Side Effects: Fatigue, dizziness, headache, cold hands or feet, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Serious Side Effects: Bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypotension (low blood pressure), heart failure, shortness of breath, and allergic reactions. Precautions: Asthma and Respiratory Issues: Caution is required in patients with asthma or chronic respiratory diseases, as atenolol can potentially worsen breathing problems. Heart Conditions: Patients with certain heart conditions, including low heart rate or severe heart failure, should consult their healthcare provider before taking this medication. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Atenolol should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it’s important to discuss its use with a doctor if breastfeeding.

Uses: Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Reduces blood pressure, helping to prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Angina (Chest Pain): Helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina episodes. Post-Heart Attack: Often prescribed to improve survival after a heart attack. Benefits: Effectively lowers blood pressure and heart rate, improving heart function. Reduces the risk of heart-related events, including heart attack and stroke. Easy-to-take oral tablet form.

The typical starting dose for Tenormin is 50mg once daily, with adjustments based on response and the condition being treated. For more severe cases of hypertension or angina, the dose may be increased to 100mg once daily. Always follow the prescribed dosage and instructions given by your healthcare provider.
