How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Atenolol 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation of a beta-blocker medication, primarily used in the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions. These conditions include hypertension, angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and heart failure. The medication functions by inhibiting the action of certain hormones in the body, such as epinephrine, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and elevate blood pressure. By blocking these hormones, atenolol aids in relaxing the blood vessels and reducing blood pressure.

In addition to its blood pressure-lowering effects, atenolol can also help to decrease the frequency and severity of angina attacks by reducing the amount of oxygen required by the heart muscle. It can further help to lower the risk of a heart attack by preventing the formation of blood clots in the arteries. In the case of arrhythmia, atenolol assists in slowing down the heart rate and reducing the risk of irregular heartbeats. For heart failure, atenolol helps to lessen the workload on the heart by decreasing the amount of blood that needs to be pumped.

Atenolol 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations. The immediate-release formulation is typically taken once or twice daily, while the extended-release formulation is taken once daily. It is crucial to take atenolol exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If you have any queries about how to take this medication, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
