Tenolol 25 Tablet

Tenolol 25 Tablet contains atenolol 25 mg in each tablet. It is a beta blocker used to help treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain heart rhythm problems, and it may also be prescribed after a heart attack in some patients. Tenolol 25 Tablet works by slowing the heart and lowering the force of each heartbeat, which can reduce the heart’s workload and blood pressure.

How it works: Atenolol in Tenolol 25 Tablet blocks beta receptors in the heart, which helps slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure. By making the heart beat more calmly, this tablet can reduce chest pain and the heart’s oxygen demand.

Tenolol 25 Tablet is the lower-strength tablet in this brand line and may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller, more adjustable dose or when starting treatment cautiously. Compared with Tenolol 100 Tablet, the 25 mg strength is easier to titrate and may be better suited for people who need a milder effect or closer dose adjustment based on response and pulse rate.

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

• Swallow Tenolol 25 Tablet with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber says it is safe to do so.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• It can be taken with or without food; food does not usually change how the tablet works.
• If your doctor prescribes it once daily, take it in the morning unless told otherwise.

Each Tenolol 25 Tablet provides atenolol 25 mg per tablet. The dose may be taken once daily for some conditions, or divided into a different schedule if your doctor specifically directs; the exact dose and maximum daily amount depend on your diagnosis, kidney function, and response. Your prescriber decides how many Tenolol 25 Tablets you should take and whether a lower or higher total daily dose is needed.

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