Product Overview
About MAR-ATENOLOL
MAR-ATENOLOL is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Atenolol, a beta-1 selective (cardioselective) adrenergic receptor blocker. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain) in patients with coronary heart disease.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)
- Angina (chest pain) in patients with coronary heart disease
- Reduction of the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular dysfunction
Active Ingredient & Action
Atenolol works by blocking the action of epinephrine (adrenaline) on the heart, reducing the heart rate and the force of contraction, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload on the heart. It also has a mild vasodilatory effect, which helps to further reduce blood pressure.
Important Notes
MAR-ATENOLOL should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It may cause dizziness, fatigue, and cold extremities. Patients with certain medical conditions, such as heart failure, asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), should use MAR-ATENOLOL with caution. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, or sick sinus syndrome.
