Tenolol 100 Tablet

Tenolol 100 Tablet is a tablet containing atenolol 100 mg in each tablet. Atenolol belongs to the beta-blocker class of medicines, which are used to help manage high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), certain irregular heart rhythms, and to reduce the workload on the heart after a heart attack. Tenolol 100 Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is usually chosen when a clinician has already assessed that a 100 mg dose is appropriate for the patient.

How it works: Atenolol works by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces how hard the heart has to work. In Tenolol 100 Tablet form, this helps lower blood pressure and can reduce chest pain or palpitations over time.

Tenolol 100 Tablet contains 100 mg of atenolol per tablet, which is a higher strength than Tenolol 25 Tablet. Because of that, it is more suitable for patients who need a larger maintenance dose or who have already been titrated up from a lower strength under medical supervision. A doctor may choose Tenolol 100 Tablet when a smaller tablet is not enough to control blood pressure, angina, or heart rate.

Each Tenolol 100 Tablet provides 100 mg of atenolol per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily or, in some cases, divided as directed by a doctor; the exact schedule depends on your heart rate, blood pressure, and response to treatment. The maximum daily dose is set by the prescribing clinician, and this higher-strength tablet should only be used under medical supervision.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
