TENOLOL TABS 100MG X28
TENOLOL contains atenolol, a beta-blocker medicine used to lower high blood pressure and reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
What it is
Atenolol is a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline, which slows the heart rate and reduces the force of heart contractions, thereby lowering blood pressure.
What it's used for
It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular events. It may be used alone or with other medicines.
Common side effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. They may include tiredness, dizziness, cold hands or feet, and slow heartbeat. If any side effect is severe or persistent, inform your doctor.
Important cautions
Do not take if you have a very slow heart rate (sinus bradycardia), certain heart block conditions, cardiogenic shock, or severe heart failure. Also avoid if you are allergic to atenolol. Tell your doctor about any heart conditions before starting. Use with caution in patients with heart failure or asthma.
