Product description

Description:

Atenolol 50mg Tablets is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina pectoris (chest pain due to coronary artery disease), and certain cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., supraventricular tachycardia). It reduces heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand, helping to lower blood pressure and relieve angina. In Ghana (Accra), it is one of the most commonly prescribed, affordable, and widely available antihypertensive in pharmacies and hospitals for long-term management of hypertension and heart-related conditions.

Prescription: Prescription-only (requires a doctor’s prescription in Ghana; dispensed by pharmacies with Rx; typically prescribed by physicians, cardiologists, or general practitioners; not OTC due to cardiovascular effects, contraindications, and need for heart rate/blood pressure monitoring).

Therapeutic Category:

Selective Beta-1 Blocker / Antihypertensive / Anti-anginal / Antiarrhythmic (Cardiovascular agent).

Active Ingredients/Composition: Each tablet contains:

  • Active ingredient: Atenolol BP – 50 mg. Other ingredients (excipients, typical): Maize starch, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, magnesium stearate, sodium starch glycolate, talc, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, macrogol, and colorants (tablets are usually white/off-white, round, film-coated or uncoated, and scored).

The 50mg is the most frequently prescribed strength.

Consume Type:

Oral – Tablet (swallow whole with water; can be taken with or without food).

Directions/Usage:

  • Adults (hypertension): Starting dose usually 50mg once daily; maintenance 50–100 mg once daily (max rarely exceeds 100–200 mg/day).
  • Angina: 50–100 mg once daily (sometimes up to 200 mg).
  • Arrhythmias: 50–100 mg once or twice daily.
  • Take at the same time each day (morning preferred to minimize night-time bradycardia).
  • Do not stop suddenly (risk of rebound hypertension, angina, or tachycardia – taper gradually under medical supervision).
  • Duration: Long-term (often lifelong) for hypertension/angina; regular blood pressure and heart rate monitoring required.

Common Side Effects: Common:

  • Fatigue, tiredness, weakness.
  • Cold hands and feet (peripheral vasoconstriction).
  • Bradycardia (slow heart rate).
  • Dizziness, light-headedness (especially when standing).
  • Sleep disturbances (insomnia, vivid dreams).
  • Gastrointestinal: Nausea, diarrhoea, constipation.
  • Sexual dysfunction (impotence, decreased libido). Rare/serious (seek help): Severe bradycardia/heart block, bronchospasm (in asthmatics), heart failure worsening, depression, hallucinations, or severe allergic reactions.

Package Type: Blister packs (commonly 10 tablets per strip; packs of 3×10 = 30, 6×10 = 60, or 10×10 = 100 tablets; foil blisters in carton or simple box with patient information leaflet).

Storage Advice: Store at room temperature (below 25–30°C) in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep in original packaging, tightly closed. Out of reach of children.

Safety Advice:

  • Contraindicated in uncontrolled heart failure, severe bradycardia (<50–55 bpm), sick sinus syndrome, second/third-degree heart block (without pacemaker), severe asthma/COPD, severe peripheral arterial disease, or hypersensitivity.
  • Caution in diabetes (masks hypoglycaemia symptoms), depression history (may worsen), renal impairment (dose adjustment), or concurrent use of other beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or antiarrhythmics.
  • Abrupt withdrawal can cause rebound hypertension, angina, or arrhythmias – taper gradually.
  • Monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and symptoms regularly.
  • Avoid driving/operating machinery until effects (drowsiness, dizziness) are known.
  • If severe dizziness, slow pulse, shortness of breath, wheezing, depression, or unusual mood changes occur, seek medical care immediately.
