Tenormin
/
Tenormin is a beta-blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It is available as an oral tablet and is a prescription medication. Patients are advised to monitor for signs of bradycardia and should not discontinue use abruptly, as this may worsen angina or lead to a heart attack. Also, Tenormin should not be used in patients with severe bradycardia or heart block without a functioning pacemaker.
FAQs about Tenormin
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Tenormin, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is found in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I stop taking Tenormin suddenly?
No, you should not stop taking Tenormin suddenly without consulting your prescriber. Abrupt discontinuation may lead to worsening of your condition, such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. This warning is specified in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
Can I take Tenormin while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Tenormin during pregnancy should be discussed with your prescriber, as it may pose risks to the fetus. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as atenolol can pass into breast milk. This information is detailed in the Use in Specific Populations section of the label.
How should I store Tenormin?
Tenormin should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it in a tightly closed container and out of reach of children. This storage guidance is provided in the Storage section of the label.
