Atenolol - Tenoretic

We Review 100% - Atenolol (Generic Tenoretic) ...

Atenolol belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers reduce the workload on the heart and help it to beat more regularly. Atenolol controls, but does not cure, high blood pressure (hypertension). Atenolol also relieves chest pain (angina), and can be helpful after a heart attack. Sometimes Atenolol is used to help prevent migraine headaches. Generic atenolol tablets are available.

HOW TO USE: Take Generic Tenoretic atenolol tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Do not stop taking except on your prescriber's advice. 

Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
