ATENHEAL 50 MG – 10 TABLETS

ATENHEAL 50 MG contains atenolol, a beta-blocker that primarily targets the heart, reducing its workload and the amount of blood it needs to pump. This results in lower blood pressure, fewer angina episodes, and reduced heart attack risks. It’s commonly prescribed for patients with hypertension, angina, or those who are at risk of heart attacks. It helps by slowing the heart rate, which lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood effectively.

Usage Instructions:
Dosage: Take ATENHEAL 50 MG once daily as prescribed by your doctor.
With or Without Food: It can be taken with or without food, at the same time each day.
Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it’s almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose.
Medicinal Advantages:
Reduces Angina Symptoms: Lowers the frequency and severity of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
Controls Blood Pressure: Helps in the effective long-term management of high blood pressure, preventing complications.
Prevents Heart Attacks: Reduces the risk of heart attacks by easing the heart’s workload and lowering blood pressure.
Mechanism of Action:
ATENHEAL 50 MG works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart, which in turn prevents angina, heart attacks, and hypertension.

Off-Label Uses:
Arrhythmia Management: Atenolol is sometimes used off-label for controlling abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Prevention of Migraines: Atenolol may also be prescribed for the prevention of migraines.
