Atenolol nycomed 100 mg 30 pcs. film-coated tablets
pharmachologic effect
Cardioselective beta1-blocker, does not have membrane stabilizing and internal sympathomimetic activity.
It has antihypertensive, antianginal and antiarrhythmic effects. By blocking beta1-adrenergic receptors of the heart in low doses, it reduces the catecholamine-stimulated formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), reduces the intracellular current of calcium ions, has a negative chrono-, dromo-, bathmo- and inotropic effect (reduces heart rate), inhibits conductivity and excitability, reduces myocardial contractility). The total peripheral vascular resistance at the beginning of the use of beta-blockers (in the first 24 hours after oral administration) increases (as a result of a reciprocal increase in the activity of alpha-adrenergic receptors and the elimination of stimulation of beta2-adrenergic receptors), which after 1-3 days returns to the original level, and with prolonged use destination is reduced.
The antihypertensive effect is associated with a decrease in minute volume of blood flow, a decrease in the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (of greater importance for patients with initial hypersecretion of renin), the sensitivity of the baroreceptors of the aortic arch (there is no increase in their activity in response to a decrease in blood pressure and an effect on the central nervous system .
The antihypertensive effect is manifested by a decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, a decrease in stroke and minute volume of blood circulation. In average therapeutic doses it has no effect on the tone of peripheral arteries. The antihypertensive effect lasts 24 hours, and with regular use it stabilizes by the end of 2 weeks of treatment.
The antianginal effect is determined by a decrease in myocardial oxygen demand as a result of a decrease in heart rate (prolongation of diastole and improvement of myocardial perfusion) and contractility, as well as a decrease in the sensitivity of the myocardium to the effects of sympathetic stimulation. Reduces heart rate at rest and during physical activity. By increasing end-diastolic pressure in the left ventricle and increasing the stretch of ventricular muscle fibers, it can increase oxygen demand, especially in patients with chronic heart failure.
The antiarrhythmic effect is due to the elimination of arrhythmogenic factors (tachycardia, increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, increased cAMP content, arterial hypertension), a decrease in the rate of spontaneous excitation of sinus and ectopic pacemakers and a slowdown of atrioventricular conduction. Inhibition of impulse conduction is observed predominantly in the antegrade and to a lesser extent in the retrograde directions through the atrioventricular (AV) node and along additional pathways.
Practically does not weaken the bronchodilating effect of isoprenaline.
In contrast to non-selective beta-blockers, when prescribed in average therapeutic doses, it has a less pronounced effect on organs containing beta2-adrenergic receptors (pancreas, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles of peripheral arteries, bronchi and uterus), and on carbohydrate metabolism; the severity of the atherogenic effect does not differ from the effect of propranolol. To a lesser extent it has a negative bathmo-, chrono-, ino- and dromotropic effect. When used in large doses (more than 100 mg/day), it has a blocking effect on both subtypes of beta-adrenergic receptors.
The negative chronotropic effect appears 1 hour after administration, reaches a maximum after 2-4 hours, and lasts up to 24 hours.

Description of the dosage form
White film-coated tablets, capsule-shaped, biconvex, with a break mark and embossed “AB57”.
Directions for use and doses
Prescribed orally before meals, without chewing, with a small amount of liquid.
Arterial hypertension. Treatment begins with 50 mg of Atenolol Nycomed 1 time per day. To achieve a stable hypotensive effect, 1-2 weeks of administration are required. If the hypotensive effect is insufficient, the dose is increased to 100 mg in one dose. Further increase in dose is not recommended, since it is not accompanied by an increase in the hypotensive effect.
Angina pectoris. The initial dose is 50 mg per day. If the optimal therapeutic effect is not achieved within a week, increase the dose to 100 mg per day. Sometimes it is possible to increase the dose to 200 mg once a day. Elderly patients and patients with impaired renal excretory function require adjustment of the dosage regimen. In the presence of renal failure, dose adjustment is recommended depending on QC. In patients with renal failure with CC values above 35 ml/min/1.73 m2 (normal values are 100-150 ml/min/1.73 m2), significant accumulation of atenolol does not occur.
The following maximum doses are recommended for patients with renal failure:
Creatinine clearance (ml/min/1.73 m2) | Half-life (h) | Maximum dose |
15-35 | 16-27 | 50 mg per day 100 mg every other day |
less than 15 | more than 27 | 50 mg every other day 100 mg once every four days |
For patients undergoing hemodialysis, Atenolol Nycomed is prescribed 25 or 50 mg/day immediately after each dialysis, which must be carried out in a hospital setting, since a decrease in blood pressure may occur. In elderly patients, the initial single dose is 25 mg (can be increased under the control of blood pressure and heart rate). Increasing the daily dose above 100 mg is not recommended, because the therapeutic effect is not enhanced, and the likelihood of side effects increases.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is 50-60%, bioavailability is 40-50%. Practically not metabolized in the body. Poorly penetrates the BBB. Plasma protein binding - 6-16%.
T1/2 is 6-9 hours. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys unchanged. Impaired renal function is accompanied mainly by an increase in T1/2 and cumulation: with CC less than 35 ml/min, T1/2 is 16-27 hours, with CC less than 15 ml/min - more than 27 hours, with anuria it extends to 144 hours. It is excreted during hemodialysis.
In elderly patients, T1/2 increases.
Indications for use Atenolol nycomed 100 mg 30 pcs. film-coated tablets

- hypersensitivity to the drug.
With caution: diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2, metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, history of allergic reactions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, emphysema, AV block I degree, chronic heart failure (compensated), obliterating peripheral vascular diseases (“intermittent " lameness, Raynaud's syndrome), pheochromocytoma (with simultaneous use of alpha-blockers), liver failure, chronic renal failure, myasthenia gravis, thyrotoxicosis, depression (including a history), psoriasis, pregnancy, old age.
Application Atenolol nycomed 100 mg 30 pcs. film-coated tablets during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnant women should be prescribed Atenolol Nycomed only in cases where the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Atenolol is excreted in breast milk, therefore, during lactation, if it is necessary to use the drug Atenolol Nycomed, it is necessary to stop breastfeeding.
Use in children
Contraindicated: under 18 years of age (efficacy and safety have not been established).
special instructions
Monitoring of patients taking Atenolol Nycomed should include monitoring heart rate and blood pressure (at the beginning of treatment - daily, then once every 3-4 months), blood glucose concentration in patients with diabetes (once every 4-5 months). In elderly patients, it is recommended to monitor renal function (once every 4-5 months).
The patient should be taught how to calculate heart rate and instructed about the need for medical consultation if the heart rate is less than 50 beats/min.
For thyrotoxicosis, Atenolol Nycomed can mask certain clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (for example, tachycardia). Abrupt withdrawal of the drug is contraindicated as it can increase symptoms. In diabetes mellitus, it can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, it practically does not enhance insulin-induced hypoglycemia and does not delay the restoration of blood glucose concentrations to normal values.
In patients with coronary artery disease, abrupt withdrawal of beta-blockers may cause an increase in the frequency or severity of angina attacks, therefore, discontinuation of Atenolol Nycomed in patients with coronary artery disease must be carried out gradually. Reduce the dose for two weeks or more. Compared to non-selective beta-blockers, cardioselective beta-blockers have less effect on pulmonary function, however, for obstructive airway diseases, Atenolol Nycomed is used only in case of absolute indications. If it is necessary to prescribe them, in some cases the use of beta2-adrenergic agonists can be recommended.
Patients with bronchospastic diseases can be prescribed cardioselective adrenergic blockers in case of intolerance and/or ineffectiveness of other antihypertensive drugs, but the dosage should be strictly monitored. An overdose is dangerous due to the development of bronchospasm.
Particular attention is necessary in cases where surgical intervention under anesthesia is required in patients taking Atenolol Nycomed. The drug should be stopped 48 hours before the intervention. As an anesthetic, you should choose a drug with as little negative inotropic effect as possible.
When using the drug Atenolol Nycomed and clonidine simultaneously, the drug Atenolol Nycomed should be stopped several days before clonidine in order to avoid withdrawal syndrome.
It is possible that the severity of the hypersensitivity reaction may increase and there will be no effect from usual doses of epinephrine against the background of a burdened allergic history.
Medicines that reduce catecholamine reserves (for example, reserpine) can enhance the effect of beta-blockers, so patients taking such combinations of drugs should be under constant medical supervision to detect a pronounced decrease in blood pressure or bradycardia.
In case of increasing bradycardia (less than 40 beats/min), arterial hypotension (systolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg), AV blockade, bronchospasm, ventricular arrhythmias, severe liver and kidney dysfunction in elderly patients, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment.
It is recommended to discontinue therapy if depression caused by taking beta-blockers develops.
If intravenous administration of verapamil is necessary, this should be done at least 48 hours after taking Atenolol Nycomed.
When using the drug Atenolol Nycomed, it is possible to reduce the production of tear fluid, which is important in patients who use contact lenses.
Treatment should not be abruptly interrupted due to the risk of developing severe arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Cancellation is carried out gradually, reducing the dose over 2 weeks or more (reduce the dose by 25% in 3-4 days).
Should be discontinued before testing the content of catecholamines, normetanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid in the blood and urine; titers of antinuclear antibodies (in 1-2 days).
Beta blockers are less effective in smokers.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and perform work requiring increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions
During the treatment period, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.
Overdose
Symptoms: severe bradycardia, dizziness, marked decrease in blood pressure, fainting, arrhythmia, ventricular extrasystole, AV block II-III degree, chronic heart failure, cyanosis of the nails or palms, convulsions, difficulty breathing, bronchospasm.
Treatment: in case of impaired AV conduction and/or bradycardia - intravenous administration of 1-2 mg of atropine, epinephrine (adrenaline) or installation of a temporary pacemaker; for ventricular extrasystole - lidocaine (class IA drugs are not used); with a pronounced decrease in blood pressure, the patient should be in the Trendelenburg position. If there are no signs of pulmonary edema - intravenous plasma replacement solutions, if ineffective - administration of epinephrine, dopamine, dobutamine; for chronic heart failure - cardiac glycosides, diuretics, glucagon; for convulsions - intravenous diazepam; for bronchospasm - inhalation or parenteral - beta-agonists. Hemodialysis is possible.
Side effects Atenolol nycomed 100 mg 30 pcs. film-coated tablets
Very common (>1/10); frequent (>1/100, 1/1000, 1/10,000,
From the cardiovascular system: often - bradycardia, coldness of the lower extremities, hypotension; rarely - development or worsening of chronic heart failure, AV block, arrhythmias, fainting, peripheral edema, chest pain, cardiac conduction disturbances, orthostatic hypotension and fainting, Raynaud's syndrome.
From the central nervous system: often - asthenia, muscle weakness; uncommon - sleep disturbances (drowsiness or insomnia); rarely - “nightmare” dreams, hallucinations, psychosis, depression, confusion or short-term memory loss, anxiety, dizziness, headache, paresthesia of the limbs (in patients with intermittent claudication and Raynaud’s syndrome), convulsions, changes in taste; very rarely - myasthenia.
From the senses: blurred vision, decreased secretion of tear fluid, dry and sore eyes, conjunctivitis.
From the endocrine system: infrequently - may mark symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Hypoglycemia (in patients receiving insulin) or hyperglycemia (in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus).
From the respiratory system: rarely - bronchospasm, wheezing, shortness of breath in patients predisposed to this and/or when taken in high doses (loss of selectivity), nasal congestion.
From the digestive system: often - nausea, vomiting. stomach pain, constipation, or diarrhea; rarely – dryness of the oral mucosa, cholestasis.
Laboratory indications: infrequently - increased activity of liver transaminases; rarely - thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, hyperbilirubinemia; very rarely - positive test results for antinuclear antibodies.
From the skin: rarely - skin rash, reversible alopecia, purpura, exacerbation of psoriasis and itching; very rarely - lupus-like syndrome. Psoriasis-like skin rash, hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria.
Other: rarely - decreased potency; very rarely - decreased libido.
Drug interactions
With the simultaneous use of atenolol with insulin, hypoglycemic agents for oral administration, the hypoglycemic effect of the latter is enhanced. When used together with antihypertensive drugs of different groups or nitrates, the hypotensive effect is enhanced. The simultaneous use of atenolol and verapamil (or diltiazem) may cause mutual enhancement of the effects of these drugs.
The antihypertensive effect is weakened by estrogens (sodium retention) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticosteroids.
With the simultaneous use of atenolol and cardiac glycosides, the risk of developing bradycardia and AV conduction disorders increases.
When atenolol is prescribed simultaneously with reserpine, methyldopa, clonidine, verapamil, severe bradycardia may occur.
Simultaneous intravenous administration of verapamil and diltiazem can provoke cardiac arrest; nifedipine can lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure. When taking atenolol simultaneously with ergotamine and xanthine derivatives, its effectiveness is reduced.
When stopping the combined use of atenolol and clonidine, treatment with clonidine is continued for several days after discontinuation of atenolol. Concomitant use with lidocaine may reduce its elimination and increase the risk of lidocaine toxicity.
Use together with phenothiazine derivatives helps to increase the concentration of each drug in the blood serum.
Phenytoin, when administered intravenously, and drugs for general anesthesia (hydrocarbon derivatives) increase the severity of the cardiodepressive effect and the likelihood of a decrease in blood pressure.
When used together with aminophylline and theophylline, mutual suppression of therapeutic effects is possible.
Concomitant use with MAO inhibitors is not recommended due to a significant increase in the hypotensive effect; the break in treatment between taking MAO inhibitors and atenolol should be at least 14 days.
Allergens used for immunotherapy or allergen extracts used for skin testing increase the risk of severe systemic allergic reactions or anaphylaxis.
Inhalation anesthetics (hydrocarbon derivatives) increase the risk of suppression of myocardial function and the development of arterial hypertension.
Amiodarone increases the risk of bradycardia and AV conduction depression.
Cimetidine increases plasma concentrations (inhibits metabolism).
Iodine-containing radiocontrast agents for intravenous administration increase the risk of anaphylactic reactions.
Prolongs the effect of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants and the anticoagulant effect of coumarins.
Tri- and tetracyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics (neuroleptics), ethanol, sedatives and hypnotics increase CNS depression.

Attention!
Before using medications, consult a specialist!
Advantages:
- good hypotensive effect
Flaws:
- not yet identified
My mother has been taking this drug for the past five years. A dosage of 25 mg per day is sufficient to provide a maintenance treatment regimen. The drug is suitable for this; taking it at the same time (in the evening) provides itself with a hypotensive effect for a day. The time was not chosen by chance, since previously rises in blood pressure occurred most often in the morning - taking the drug in the evening ensures the peak of its daily action just in the morning and thereby protects most actively during a possible rise. Mom did not feel any side effects, so she treats the drug with great confidence, which ensures her satisfactory well-being. However, I would like to remind you that the selection of an antihypertensive drug should be made individually by your attending physician!

Atenolol is an excellent remedy for hypertension and tachycardia, if your heart jumps out of your chest like a hare’s, when you feel every heartbeat and begins to throw you up, then you need to seriously start taking care of your heart. The effect of taking this medicine is noticeable almost immediately: shortness of breath disappears, with exertion the pressing pain in the chest simply disappears, and the pressure stabilizes. For the first two weeks of taking it, I didn’t sleep well and suffered from insomnia, but after a while my sleep improved. I heard that it has a bad effect on potency: I can’t say for sure, because I’m not a man. Atenolol works great for various cardiovascular symptoms, it costs just a penny at current prices, but like any drug Atenolol has its side effects and contraindications, so you first need to consult a doctor so that this medicine will help you and not harm you.

I do not have hypertension, rather I am still hypotensive, but there is a serious risk of tachycardia paroxysms. I tried to take ANAPRILIN, but the dose doubled in two months, and I also needed ASPARKAM or PANANGIN. I have been taking atenolol for 10-12 years. First, 0.25 mg 2 times a week, then 3, then daily. Now I forget (is it better?), but I don’t go anywhere without it.
I don’t notice any side effects (based on how I feel), but it’s better to lie down for half an hour after taking it.

Advantages:
- Quickly reduces blood pressure.
Flaws:
- It is inconvenient to break the tablet.
My husband suffered a myocardial infarction and now has to take many medications.
If his heart rate increases or his blood pressure is high, he is prescribed to take Atenolol. A very good product, it helps in literally 20 minutes.
My husband takes a dosage of 50 mg. After taking Atenolol, he always lies down and lies for a while, then when his condition returns to normal, he even forgets about his illness.
My husband does not take Atenolol every day, because his blood pressure is generally normal (other drugs regulate it), although the doctor advises him to take Atonolol every day too.
I also sometimes have pressure surges (I don’t take individual medications yet) and when the lower one reaches 90, I take an Atenolol tablet from my husband, take it (sometimes and most often 0.5 tablets), lie down and do my business further, no matter what. what never happened.
“Atenolol” relieves pressure quickly, but it’s not convenient for me to split the tablet (there is no dividing mark on it, but there is a risk on the 100 mg tablets).
We buy “Atenolol” from our domestic manufacturer, and the price is simply surprising - from 11 to 16 rubles.
My sister takes Atenolol daily - she has tachycardia.

Over the last year, my heart began to worry me - shortness of breath, strong heartbeat, pressing pain in the chest during some kind of physical activity, and when I have to walk for a long time, my blood pressure also jumps. I went to a cardiologist, they did all the necessary procedures and it turned out that I had coronary heart disease. The doctor prescribed me Atenolol. After reading his instructions, I was satisfied. I began to take 1 tablet without chewing and with a large amount of food, the dose was 50 mg. There are tablets of 25, 50 and 100 mg and 10 or 20 pieces per pack. After taking it for a week, I began to notice an improvement, my blood pressure became normal and my shortness of breath decreased slightly. The only side effect I had was that I didn’t sleep well and was bothered by insomnia. But after 2 weeks of taking Atenolol, everything returned to normal. Yes, there are contraindications, but I was lucky; I didn’t have any of the listed contraindications. Now I take it as needed.

Restores heart rhythm
Advantages:
- Effective instantly
Flaws:
- I have swelling
What is the drug intended for?
It aligns the cardiovascular system. Lately my rhythm has started to pick up a lot. And out of the blue. It feels like I’m very worried and my heart is pounding non-stop. I went to the hospital and the doctor prescribed me this drug. It is sold without a prescription and costs 60 rubles.
How to use?
You need to take the pill only at the moment when your heartbeat is outside the normal range. I took it once a day, and sometimes I skipped it because the rhythm was normal. The drug is white in color and should be taken with plenty of water. Effective within 5 minutes.
Contraindications and side effects?
There is only one contraindication - frequent use. That is, you should take pills rarely and only when necessary. Drinking during the course is not recommended. If your heartbeat is constantly going off scale, you need to go to the hospital and look for a more serious problem. I began to notice that a couple of hours after taking the pill, my legs and fingers were swelling. Sometimes I even took off the rings. Before use, be sure to consult your doctor.

She was treated with atenolol after a hypertensive crisis. It was not suitable for me as a preventive measure, but after a pre-infarction condition it became simply necessary. The daily dose is very small, but it is convenient in terms of taking the medicine. Instead of a whole handful of tablets, just one, and taking it in the morning makes it much easier to use. My blood pressure dropped well and I had no side effects.
Valery
https://progipertoniyu.ru/preparaty/atenolol.html#h2_7
Inexpensive and very strong medicine. Side effects in the form of weakness and dizziness appeared only in the first week of use, after which they disappeared. The doctor noted an improvement in heart function (I have chronic angina), as well as a decrease in blood pressure. I haven’t finished the full course yet, but my dosage has already been reduced.

Advantages:
- effective
- great price
Flaws:
- consultation with a doctor is required
- there are many nuances to use
The Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded for the discovery of this group of drugs in 1988. Namely, for the group of beta-blockers, which includes the drug Atenolol, one of my favorite emergency drugs. But it can also be taken constantly - as prescribed by a cardiologist, for example, for heart disease, arrhythmias or hypertension.
I take this drug very rarely, when my blood pressure rises due to stress, when my head hurts terribly, my heart rate increases, and my heart rate increases (increased heart rate in medical parlance - tachycardia). By nature, I am a very calm person, so this happens literally a couple of times a year. Unfortunately, no one is protected from stress. And always in such cases, a tablet or half a tablet of Atenolol saves me, depending on what the pressure is. Improvement occurs after 30-40 minutes, and the pressure begins to decrease after 20 minutes.
The cost in pharmacies is now approximately 5 Ukrainian UAH (about 15 rubles) for 20 tablets. In my photo the price is 3.50 UAH, since I bought the package back in 2012. As you can see, it lasts me personally for a long time.
Separately, I note that the effect of Atenolol, in addition to lowering blood pressure, also slows down the pulse. Therefore, if your resting heart rate is 60-70 beats per minute or less, you should not take this drug, it may get even worse. Therefore, the drug is not suitable for everyone!
Before using Atenolol, you must consult a doctor. It is advisable to see a cardiologist or a competent therapist, as there are many nuances in its prescription. And even if the drug suits you, you need to choose the right dose. It is not advisable to take it in case of chronic diseases of the lungs and bronchi, diabetes mellitus, or pregnancy. Or, depending on the extent of the disease, other drugs from this group of beta blockers may be prescribed. And with long-term use, the drug must be discontinued gradually, also under the supervision of a doctor.

The only drug that really helps with heart palpitations. When I was depressed, I thought my heart would jump out, my blood pressure was normal, but my pulse went through the roof. I tried everything, but this one helped, now if I drink anything I take half and that’s it

My husband often has high blood pressure; after an examination, the doctor prescribed the necessary treatment. But sometimes it happens that the pulse is high, and here we always have Atenolol for this case. He doesn’t drink as a course, but purely as needed, and it helps very well, bringing his pulse back to normal literally within half an hour. Really a very good drug.

I was diagnosed with hypertension several years ago. Although there have been rises in blood pressure before, when I got nervous. But then the pressure grew constantly, my heart trembled, spots circled before my eyes. At some medical examination, they measured it for me and sent me for examination. I went to a consultation with a cardiologist, where I was advised to change my weight, food and start treatment, otherwise there would be trouble. Atenolol was prescribed to reduce blood pressure. This medicine is a beta-blocker, which is prescribed to most patients and at different stages of the disease. Their main advantage is that they reduce blood pressure well, regardless of physical mobility. In addition, they do not get used to them.
On the negative side, I started to have a sore throat and my mouth was constantly dry, so I had to carry lozenges with me everywhere. Although it is written that this drug is better tolerated than other beta-blockers, because it selectively affects heart receptors.
The doctor said that you shouldn’t stop taking the pills right away, otherwise there could be a sharp drop in blood pressure. But I'm not going to stop just yet. I changed my daily routine, lost a little weight, drink Atenolol and constantly monitor my blood pressure numbers. And everything is fine with me. Therefore, you need to go to the doctor, find the right medicine, and not suffer from heart pain.

I don’t want to talk about pills on New Year’s Eve. But it just so happened... I didn’t know what high blood pressure was for many years. I generally have low blood pressure and I have learned to increase it. Of course, I had high blood pressure, but not very high. I only had high blood pressure a couple of times.
A few weeks ago I had a really bad headache. The pain was strange, incomprehensible. At this time I was at home and decided to measure my blood pressure. The numbers that the device showed made me feel even worse and scared. 148 by 103 is no joke. I had to call a doctor to my house. I was unable to reach it on my own. The doctor prescribed me several types of pills. Among them was this drug:
I don't know how much it costs. It wasn’t me who went to the pharmacy, but it certainly didn’t cost more than a hundred rubles.
The box contains detailed instructions for use. It turns out that this drug is prescribed not only for high blood pressure, but also for angina, heart attack, etc.
This drug is not suitable for everyone. There is a large list of contraindications: pregnancy, old age...
The dosage of the drug should be prescribed only by a doctor, depending on the disease. Atenolol Nycomed is sold without a prescription, but I do not recommend buying it or taking it without a prescription!!
I took the capsules before meals, washed them down with water, without chewing. Now my blood pressure is normal. My working pressure is 100 over 70. After I started taking this drug, my blood pressure jumps to a maximum of 110 over 70. So it helped me quickly and did not cause side effects.
Don't get sick and be healthy! Thank you for your attention to my review.
ATENOLOL (tablets)
Hypertension is a very dangerous disease; constant monitoring is needed so as not to lead to a stroke, heart attack, hypertensive crisis or other unpleasant consequences of increased blood pressure.
I have been experiencing this problem for ten years now: it started, as usual, small, and now if it increases, it quickly and immediately reaches 170/120, and often without the help of an ambulance it is impossible to bring it down with anything. When it increased occasionally, I took a Capoten tablet (captopril) under the tongue, and a horizontal position with complete rest is mandatory. This helped for a long time. But at some point, the pressure began to increase daily, and then the attending physician recommended constantly taking “Atenolol,” a cumulative drug that works constantly, preventing the pressure from increasing. br>So I have been taking “Atenolol” for two years in a row, with short breaks, no more than a week. Since the effect of the drug is prolonged, you can skip a week, the body will have at least a little rest from constantly pumping it with chemicals, or if you forget to take it some day, then it’s okay, the drug still works. That’s why it’s good, it gives you confidence that your blood pressure will not rise at the most inopportune moment, you can use your free time more effectively: without fear of going to the cinema or the theater, you go to the dacha with a calm soul and with confidence that you won’t have to call for an ambulance there.
This drug is produced by several pharmaceutical companies. companies, recently I have been buying “Atenolol” Ozone Pharmaceuticals. Convenient packaging, 3 blisters of 10 tablets, the dosage varies, I have now settled on 25 mg, this is just enough for me to maintain the pressure at a normal level, but here everything is very individual, you need to start small and monitor it together with your doctor body reaction.
The tablets are small, white, puck-shaped, film-coated, and are not difficult to swallow. One bad thing is that there are no risks; if necessary, you won’t be able to break it in half; the tablet crumbles and does not break. At first I took half the dosage, I had to bite the pill at random, but then I had to switch to the standard dosage and now everything is fine with this pill.
I am especially pleased with the price; depending on the dosage and in different pharmacies, the price of the drug is 20-30 rubles, as for me, this is almost nothing.
The effectiveness of the drug is excellent, it does not act too quickly, but it is stable and reliable, the drug is of high quality.
Allows you to lead an almost normal life. True, blood pressure is an insidious thing, it still sometimes rises, but not every day, but only as a consequence of some excitement, anxiety, surge of emotions, and not only negative, but too much positive at once can also cause an attack of hypertension, about You just need to always remember this and control yourself in any situation. But if this happens and the pressure suddenly jumps, then you always have the good old “Capoten” with you as an ambulance. Usually it helps. But in any case, the main thing is not to overdose, so that it doesn’t happen like it once happened to me: I took one pill - it didn’t help, I took another one - it didn’t help, and after all of them took effect at once, I ended up in the ambulance in the hospital on a drip. They barely saved us then, but for the future there is science: no more than one tablet at a time.
In general, I will naturally recommend Ozone “Atenolol” tablets if there is a need to take them, but it is better, of course, to consult a doctor and be sure to study the instructions, since, like any drug, there are contraindications and side effects.
Health to you and your loved ones!
