Atenopress 100 mg Tablet

Atenopress 100 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of atenolol in each tablet. Atenolol belongs to the beta-blocker class and is used to help treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and some heart rhythm or heart-related conditions. In some patients, it may also be used after a heart attack or for other doctor-directed cardiovascular reasons. Atenopress 100 mg Tablet works best when taken exactly as prescribed and alongside other heart-healthy measures.

How it works: Atenolol in Atenopress 100 mg Tablet blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces how hard the heart has to work. By lowering the heart’s workload and the force of each beat, this tablet can help lower blood pressure and ease angina symptoms.

Atenopress 100 mg Tablet is a higher single-tablet strength of atenolol, so it is generally chosen only after a clinician has assessed that this amount is appropriate for the patient. Because it delivers 100 mg in one tablet, it may suit people whose blood pressure or heart rate need stronger beta-blocker support, but it is not a starting strength for everyone. A doctor may choose Atenopress 100 mg Tablet when a lower atenolol dose is not available in the brand range or when this tablet matches the prescribed daily dose.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Chest pain from angina

• Follow your prescriber’s instructions closely, since this 100 mg tablet may be the full daily dose for some patients.

Each Atenopress 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of atenolol. Depending on your condition and response, it may be taken once daily or split into a regimen your doctor prescribes, but the exact schedule is individualized. Do not take more than the amount your doctor has prescribed; your clinician decides the right dose and whether 100 mg per day is appropriate for you.

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