Atenolol 2 mg/ml Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication designed for oral administration. This liquid formulation provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form, ensuring accurate delivery of medication. It is particularly beneficial for patients who find swallowing solid dosage forms challenging, such as children and the elderly.

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), and to improve survival after a heart attack. By lowering high blood pressure, it helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Atenolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

It is important to take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Do not suddenly stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Your condition may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped.

Side effects can include tiredness, slow heartbeat, and dizziness. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: certain types of heart rhythm problems (such as slow heartbeat, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block), breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema), liver disease, serious allergic reactions, including those needing treatment with epinephrine, blood circulation problems (such as Raynaud's disease, peripheral vascular disease), mental/mood disorders (such as depression), a certain muscle disease (myasthenia gravis).

Atenolol can interact with a variety of medications, which can alter how the medication works or increase the risk of serious side effects.

Some products that may interact with this drug include alpha blockers (such as prazosin), calcium channel blockers (such as diltiazem, verapamil), drugs that can increase the level of atenolol in your blood (such as amiodarone, certain types of calcium channel blockers including diltiazem/verapamil, fingolimod).

Other medications can affect the removal of atenolol from your body, which may affect how atenolol works. Examples include certain anti-seizure drugs (such as carbamazepine), rifamycins (such as rifabutin), St. John's wort, among others.

It's important to note that atenolol should not be used with other beta-blockers. Also, avoid taking atenolol with alcohol as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness and lightheadedness.

Remember, your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
