Atzee 50 mg Tablet

Atzee 50 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 50 mg of atenolol in each tablet. Atenolol belongs to the beta-blocker class, which is commonly used to help manage high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and certain heart rhythm problems. Atzee 50 mg Tablet may also be used after a heart attack in some patients when a doctor decides it is appropriate. It is a standard oral tablet made by Zee Laboratories and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Atenolol in Atzee 50 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 this workload, the tablet can help reduce blood pressure, chest pain, and the strain placed on the heart.

Atzee 50 mg Tablet is a mid-strength atenolol tablet, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants more effect than a lower-strength tablet can provide, but not an excessive dose. Because it is a 50 mg tablet, it may be used as a convenient maintenance dose for some adults, while others may need a smaller or larger amount depending on their heart rate, blood pressure, and response. This strength is not meant to be started or adjusted on your own.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Certain fast or irregular heart rhythms
• Heart protection after a heart attack in selected patients

• Swallow Atzee 50 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your doses.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not stop taking Atzee 50 mg Tablet suddenly, because stopping beta-blockers abruptly can worsen chest pain or cause other heart problems.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your prescriber’s instructions carefully, especially if you are also taking medicines for blood pressure or heart disease.

Each Atzee 50 mg Tablet provides 50 mg of atenolol per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or in divided doses, and the exact schedule should be set by the prescriber for your needs. The maximum daily dose varies by condition and patient response, so do not change the dose on your own.

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