What are atenolol tablets?
ATENOLOL (Tenormin®) belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers reduce the workload on the heart and help it to beat more regularly. Atenolol controls, but does not cure, high blood pressure (hypertension). Atenolol also relieves chest pain (angina), and can be helpful after a heart attack. Sometimes atenolol is used to help prevent migraine headaches. Generic atenolol tablets are available.
Most important fact about Tenormin If you have high blood pressure, you must take Tenormin regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Tenormin; and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Tenormin does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.

When taken together with cisapride, sertindole, sotalol, astemizole, terfenadine or beta-agonist bronchodilators such as there may be an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythm, salbutamol, if low blood potassium (hypokalaemia) occurs with chlortalidone. If hypokalaemia does not occur, this risk is removed.
When taken together with other medicines which can cause hypokalaemia e.g. corticosteroids, carbenoxolone or beta-agonist bronchodilators such as salbutamol, there may be an increased risk of developing hypokalaemia. Potassium supplements may be required.

Chlortalidone reduces the ability of the body to remove the medicine lithium. As this may give rise to adverse effects this medicine should not generally be taken with lithium.
In diabetic patients, Atenolol can prolong the lowering of blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) caused by insulin or other antidiabetic medicines. Individuals should monitor their blood sugar, as Atenolol (Tenoretic) can also mask the signs of hypoglycaemia. Chlortalidone may increase blood sugar.
When Atenolol is taken together with calcium channel blockers such as the risk of slow heart rate, nifedipine or diltiazem, verapamil, hypotension and heart failure may be increased. Neither Atenolol (Chlorthalidone) nor calcium channel blockers should be given intravenously within 48 hours of discontinuing the other.
If Atenolol (Tenoretic) is taken together with clonidine, there is a risk of a rebound increase in blood pressure if clonidine is stopped. The Atenolol should be stopped several days before slowly stopping the clonidine.
