What Can You Take Instead Of Atenolol

My grandpa is 77 years old and he accidentally took 2 tablets of Atenolol 50mg at a time. Will any serious injury occur in regards to his health? Please advise. ## Doubling up hasbeen known to cause someone to experience more severe side effects, according NIH reports, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Given his age, that could also make them worse. Thus, it would be best to consult his doctor to be safe. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Not sure if I accidentally took a double dose of atenolol or not, which would be 75mg with the mistake, instead of 37.50 mg normally. Will I be alright if I had taken a double dose? ## I accidentally took a 100 mg dose of atenolol instead of 1/2 pill about 1 hour ago. I take it for tachycardia...

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...

Will this hurt me, should I call my doctor? As stated above I accidentally took a double dose of 25 mg for a total of 50 mg . Please advise. ## Hello, Gayla! How are you? That is not a dangerous amount to take, but there is a chance it could cause your blood pressure to drop lower than normal and you may become dehydrated, according to the FDA. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and headache. It would be best to inform your doctor, to be safe. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take 25 mg of atenolol in morning but by mistake of taking my simvastin last night I took another atenolol instead ...

I am age 70 and taking Telma 40 but my blood pressure is not under control (160/110). I have scarring in my lungs and reduced lung function. I get easily tired. Can I take Atenolol also (along with using Telma 40) for reducing my blood pressure? ## Has your doctor told you to take both of them? Multiple medications are often prescribed to help lower someone's blood pressure as fast and as safely as possible. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications? ## Can I take Atenolol 50mg instead of Telma 40 for treating hypertension? I'm taking Telma 40 now and would like to switch. ## Can I take telma H and atenolol together at the same time.

I took 20 mg Lisinopril a second time instead of 50 mg Atenolol. Supposed to take the Lisinopril once daily and the Atenolol twice. Am I okay? ## If you are concerned then you should call poison control at (800) 222-1222. From what I was reading, the biggest risk would be your blood pressure dropping too low (hypotension). However, taking only one additional dose may not cause that for you. Here is a pdf with more information: ACE Inhibitor Overdoses I hope this helps and please report back with your outcome.

Can I take Glovit-Cal and Absolut 3G tablets daily or should I instead take Supradyn? The first 2 do not have Vitamin A. Or should I take Absolut one day and the next day take Supradyn to have the elements from both? ## Can you please advise what Absolut 3g is taken for? ## I take Atenolol 50 mg and Norvase 5 mg a day...today I ran out of Atenolol and have to work 6am to 6pm a few more days till I get a day off to see my Dr for a renewed prescription. What should I do? Could I just take Norvase 5 mg in the morning and evening? Would it be ok?

WHITE ROUND TABLET ## I think the imprint you are referring to is GG L7, many people have thought they were 6's instead of g's. Here's an image so you can check: Pill Image This is Atenolol 25mgs, a generic for Tenormin. This is a beta-blocker, used to reduce the work load on the heart.

I have been taking atenolol 50 + stamlo 5 in the morning and losar 50 in the evening for blood pressure control for the last 8 years. I also take ecosprin 150, clopilett 75 in the afternoon and tonact 10 at night... With these i am comfortable and my bp usually is within limits around 140/80. However, recently i noticed that it is going to the higher side of 160/90 sometimes. Can I use losar h instead of losar? Is there any interaction between losar h and stamlo?

I have been taking a half tablet of Amlopress-AT daily for several years. It used to keep my blood pressure (BP) at 130/80, sometimes even less than that. A doctor friend of mine advised me to avoid this medicine, as it contains Atenolol, a beta blocker; as per him, it's not suitable for someone of my age (62 years). He suggested that I switch to Ramcor 2.5 mg. So, for the last month, I have been taking Ramcor daily instead of Amlopress-AT. However, over the last few days, I have found my BP to be quite high - it was 160/80 a few days ago; today, it was 170/80. There has been no change in my lifestyle, diet, or exercise regimen. Please could you advise me on what medicine I should take? ## What dose where you taking of the other medication? It may just be that the current dosage of ...
