Uses

Hypertension Atenolol tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure.
Lowering blood pressure lowers the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including atenolol.
Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake.
Many patients will require more than 1 drug to achieve blood pressure goals.

How to take

Hypertension The initial dose of atenolol is 50 mg given as one tablet a day either alone or added to diuretic therapy.
The full effect of this dose will usually be seen within one to two weeks.
If an optimal response is not achieved, the dosage should be increased to atenolol 100 mg given as one tablet a day.
Increasing the dosage beyond 100 mg a day is unlikely to produce any further benefit.
Atenolol may be used alone or concomitantly with other antihypertensive agents including thiazide-type diuretics, hydralazine, prazosin, and alpha-methyldopa.
