ATL 50mg

Atenolol 50mg Tablets.

These white, round, biconvex tablets are film-coated and debossed with ‘A50’ on one side. Each tablet contains 50mg of atenolol. They are indicated for the management of hypertension, angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction. For hypertension, most patients respond to 100mg given orally once daily, but some may require 50mg as a single daily dose. The effect is fully established after one to two weeks. For angina, most patients respond to 100mg given once daily or 50mg given twice daily. It is unlikely that additional benefit will be gained by increasing the dose. Atenolol can also be combined with other antihypertensive agents for enhanced effectiveness. The tablets can be divided into equal doses if needed.
