Atenolol 50

Was told by my physician that you give free blood pressure cuffs to those patients that are on your medication. ## Hello, Donald! How are you? I'm sorry, but this website does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications. It is an information only website. Is there a manufacturer listed on the bottle?

Dear all Medical Practioners in this Forum. I am having a mild Hypertension with 130/90 at the most. I had been prescribed by the Doctor with Atenolol 50mg/day and Nifidepine 3x daily. I did read before that Atenolol tend to give you a Psoarasis and this had appeared on me somewhere at my right leg. Can I change this prescription later? Please advise me as to what are the best remedial actions to be taken before things get out of control. Thank You. ## Sorry, there are no medical practitioners on this site. However, if the drug is causing unwanted and unpleasant side effects, you should discuss it with your doctor. There are other options available that you can use. ## I stopped taking Atenolol on my own 2-3 weeks ago when I read about possible problems resulting in my decision. Can I s...

I've been taking mylan m231 for 10 years. Because of "shortage" i'm now taking zydus z66. Are these two brands exactly the same or should I expect to experience some unagreeable symptoms? I've only been on zydus brand for two days. I'm not at ease with switching brands. The pills are to help maintain blood pressure. How dare a drug company "HOOK" you on a drug for life and then they don't have them available for patients? They are putting people's lives in jeopardy. Patients like me are experiencing more anxiety and have increased blood pressure due to a lack of concern they have shown by not ending this ridiculous situation. I can't understand how mylan has had a shortage for several months and zydus has not. Is zydus using the same ingredien...

small white pill ## If you're looking for more info on this drug you can go to the page for Atenolol. You can also start a new discussion forum on Atenolol from there. ## Atenolol is a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. It is also fine to ask here on the forums and see if anyone might have more advice, or person experience using it. What are the markings on the tablets you are taking?

I took my prescription @ 3:25 . I went to the to pick up my current prescription I forgot I had already taken it and took another dose. ## Will that affect me a lot or about the same as if I forgot to take it? ## Did you end up having any problems? Doubling up may result in your blood pressure and heart rate dropping too low, which could result in severe dizziness, drowsiness and sedation. Learn more Atenolol details here. Learn more Chlorthalidone details here. The higher amount of Chlorthalidone could also cause dehydration, so you should take in some extra water to be safe. ## my wife took my 50gm atenolol instead of her pharmapres is ther any danger to her health ## I took one pill of Atenolol Chlorthalidone 50/25 about 9am this morning, Then I supposed to take other pill for Synroi...

Can a 25mg Atenolol tablet be scored? ## Are you asking if it's safe to cut in half? If so, then yes, as long as your doctor or pharmacist haven't instructed you otherwise and it isn't a time released tablet. My sensitivity to medications often makes me cut tablets, that aren't scored for cutting, so I can take a lower dose. My doctor just approves it first. ## Can you take 6mg of Atenolol to prevent or block an adrenal rush? The adrenaline causes me to awaken between 2-4 a.m. ## My mother is prescribed one 100 mg tablet of atenolol a day. The pharmacy gave her two 50 mg tablets per day and on the bottle it said it was the same, but her blood pressure is out of control. Is it the dosage change? Nothing else has changed. ## I accidentally forgot to take my atenolol 100mg ...

Can you cut it in half? New to med. Noon dose still has heart rate in low 50s and will soon be time to take again. Last night was unnerving with low heart rate and breathing. I see cardiologist tomorrow for first time. PCP prescribed. I am asking cardiologist to reduce dose tomorrow but worried about tonight. ## It could be that it is too high of a dose for you, since the FDA lists that as being a known side effect of taking too much. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. What did your cardiologist recommend?

I need help identifying the Mexican pill thoratoz (atenolol 50 mg). I bought my mom's blood pressure medicine in Mexico and it looks so different from US that she's afraid to take it. Can anyone help please? ## Finding specific details about the pill's appearance has been a challenge. The manufacturer's web site does have a page on Thoratoz 50 mg, but unfortunately the image is not loading. The page is located at: Can you post back with a description of the pill, including shape, color(s), and any markings on the pill? ## It is a round shaped thick white pill with no markings. ## Darn, if only that picture would load on the manufactuer's site! Without any markings it is pretty much impossible to make a definite ID, not to mention that meds from outside the USA are no...

My heart rate is irregular. On every third beat the sound of pumping increases. Can this medicine control irregular heart rate? ## Has your doctor instructed you to take it? If so, then you should do so. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Do you always seem to hear your heart pumping?

Is there any known drug interaction between Atenolol Chlorthalidone 50-25 & Meloxicam 15mg? ## Usually, if someone has high blood pressure, or a cardiac condition that requires a medication such as Atenolol, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory such as Meloxicam is not recommended, since it can raised blood pressure, and cause fluid retention, as side effects, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include increased urination, headache, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was diagnose with high blood pressure (BP) about ten years ago (at 40 years) and my doctor prescribe Atenolo 50 mg which I used for about three years. Then my doctor added nifedipine 20mg which I am now taking for about seven years. About two years now I feel dizzy when I stand for some time and when I check my BP I am getting low reading example, 104/65, 95/60/, 112/75. My doctor did kidney's and diabetic's blood test which he said was ok. About one year ago I was diagnose with diabetics but it is under control. I reduce the nifedipine 20mg to 10 and later 5mg but still get the dizzy feeling at times. When I exercise(walking) 4-7Km every other day my BP even go down lower. My concern is when stand for some time with little movements I feel dizzy due the low BP at that time. O...

mixed up pills i need to know if atenolol has an m on it ## mixed up pills need to know if atenolol has an m on it ## Since Atenolol is a generic, there are quite a few tablets on the market and several of them have an M on them. For instance.... White, round, M 757 contains 100mgs. White, round, M A2 contains 25mgs. White, round, MP 146 contains 50mgs. White, round, MP 9 contains 25mgs. White, round, MP 147 contains 100mgs. Do any of these match the tablet you are questioning? Learn more Atenolol details here. If not, please post back with the complete markings from the tablet, so I can look it up for you.

I was taking Amlodipine Besylate 10mg for about a year or so and my blood pressure is under control now. I have gone to a new doctor who put me on Atenolol 50mg because I was told one of the side effects can slow your heartbeat & I was concerned... Wondering which one is a better medicine when it comes to side effects? ## Hello, Kevin! How are you? There is no real best medication, since we are all different, so it depends on what works best for you, without causing unwanted side effects. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, hypotension, and headache. How are you doing taking the new medication?
