Atenolol Tablets (25mg, 50mg, 100mg)

Take one daily with water as your doctor has prescribed. The first pill may make you feel dizzy and some people find taking it before bed is a good way to avoid this. The dizziness should subside, if you find it is not a problem for you, you may take it any time during the day.

Try to take each tablet at the same time each day.

If you forget to take a tablet take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearer to the time you would take your next dose wait and take it then. Do not take two tablets at once.

Continue to take the tablets until your doctor says otherwise, even if you start to feel better. If you feel like they are not working or you are experiencing unmanageable side effects speak to your Doctor or pharmacist about changing medication or dosage.

The dosage you are given will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment. It may take 1-2 weeks to get the full benefits of Atenolol tablets.

Yes, there are plenty of other options and if one is ineffective your doctor may prescribe a different medication. Some examples include Ramipril, Perindopril and Amlodipine as well as beta-blockers such Bisoprolol.

We advise that you consult with either your GP or prescriber before you buy or take Atenolol 25 mg.

Bisoprolol tablets and Atenolol tablets are both a form of medication known as Beta-Blockers which slow down heart rate making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This helps reduce blood pressure. Although they function similarly Bisoprolol tablets are a newer medication that better targets the cardiovascular system and is more often prescribed.

If you have been taking Atenolol tablets for a while and they have proved effective your doctor will likely keep you on this medication. For newer patients, Bisoprolol is generally the first choice beta-blocker.

There may be a slight price difference between the two medications. Speak to your doctor or prescriber if you are unsure which beta-blocker medication is best for you.
