Atenolol
Brand Name: Atenolol
Generic Name: Atenolol (a ten' oh lole)
Drug Class: CARDIAC DRUGS
IMPORTANT WARNING: Do not stop taking atenolol without talking to your doctor first. If atenolol is stopped suddenly, it may cause chest pains or a heart attack in some people.
Why is Atenolol prescribed?
Atenolol is used to treat high blood pressure. It also is used to prevent angina (chest pain) and heart attacks. It works by relaxing your blood vessels so your heart doesn't have to pump as hard.
Atenolol is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should Atenolol be used?
Atenolol comes as a tablet to take by mouth. Atenolol usually is taken once or twice a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take atenolol exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Atenolol helps control your condition but will not cure it. Continue to take atenolol even if you feel well. Do not stop taking atenolol without talking to your doctor.
Other uses for Atenolol
Atenolol also is used to treat alcohol withdrawal. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking atenolol,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to atenolol or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially medications for migraine headaches, asthma, allergies, colds, or pain; other medications for heart or high blood pressure; reserpine; and vitamins.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had asthma or other lung disease; diabetes; severe allergies; thyroid problems; or heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking atenolol, call your doctor immediately.
- you should know that this drug may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this drug affects you.
- remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this drug.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes containing potassium. If your doctor prescribes a low-salt or low-sodium diet, follow these directions carefully.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
