Atenolol is used to treat hypertension, angina, and several other cardiovascular conditions. It belongs to the beta blocker class of drugs and works by lowering heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces strain on the heart.

Atenolol is a generic name; this product is better known by the brand name Tenormin.

Conditions Treated with Atenolol

This medication may be used in a wide range of cardiovascular issues, particularly in hospital settings. At home, the majority of patients buy atenolol to help manage:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Angina (chest pain)
• Atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rate)
• Long QT syndrome (irregular heartbeat)
• Tachycardia (rapid heart rate)
• Physical symptoms of anxiety

In the majority of cases atenolol is taken long term, typically for months or years. The exception is when the medication is used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, for which it is taken as-needed.

In many cardiovascular conditions lifestyle changes are also encouraged to promote cardiovascular health and to eventually minimize or eliminate the need for medications. It's very common for other medications to be taken along with atenolol to further manage the condition, such as diuretics for hypertension, or to provide fast-acting relief in acute episodes, such as taking nitroglycerin for angina.

Beta blockers are sometimes used to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches; patients should not buy atenolol for this application. Beta blockers that more readily pass the blood-brain barrier, such as propranolol or metoprolol, will produce more significant results in migraines.

Treatment Overview

Dosage should be determined by a doctor and will vary to some extent according to the condition being treated, other medical conditions present, other medications being taken, age, weight, and so forth.

In cardiovascular conditions treatment is typically as follows:

• Start with 50 mg per day for two weeks, at which time effects should be evaluated.
• If needed dosage may be increased to 100 mg per day for two weeks, then effects evaluated.
• Most people find 50 to 100 mg to be sufficient. Rarely it may be increased to 200 mg per day.
• Tablets are typically taken once per day, but may be divided into two smaller daily doses.
• Tablets may be taken with or without food as desired.

Treatment may continue for as long as it provides benefit. If the medication has been taken for more than a few weeks, particularly at higher doses, treatment should not end abruptly; dosage should be gradually tapered down over several weeks. Abruptly ending treatment can produce dangerous complications.

Patients who buy atenolol for anxiety should take it as-needed, about an hour before anxiety is anticipated. The medication only addresses physical symptoms, such as racing heartbeat, muscle tension, or trembling voice; it does not alleviate mental symptoms or prevent them from occurring. In anxiety dosage ranges between 12.5 and 100 mg; the majority of patients find 25 or 50 mg to be sufficient.
