Atenolol Re

is Atenolol 100mg the same than Nor Tenol 100mg, the label on the box reads: Atenolol 100g Nor Tenol 100g, Thanks ## From what I'm finding, Nortenol contains the active ingredient Diltiazem. Learn more Diltiazem details here. So it seems that what you may have is a combination medication that contains both the Diltiazem and Atenolol. This is often done to help get better control of someone's blood pressure. Learn more Atenolol details here. Was this medication prescribed for you? ## Thanks for replying, yes 10years ago I was prescribed with Propanolol at first and some years latter the doctor change it to Atenolol 100mg daily which has worked fine with me, but I came for visiting to the United States and brougth my pills but now I am planning to stay 2 weeks longer and beeing no...

you cannot depend on them z 65 one refill they work very good next refill hardly work company must mess up or the cheat the pulic get a dif ,,,,, brand i been taking atenolol for 14 yrs ## Have you talked to your doctor about it? If you've been taking the same medication for 14 years, it's highly possible that your body has built up a tolerance to it and it's just not working as well for you, as it used to. You may need to switch to a different medication. Do you take it for hypertension or for a different condition? Learn more Atenolol details here.

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...

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 ...

white 1_2 oblong ## Sorry, you have not provided enough information. This drug is available in both name brand and generic versions. There are many generic manufacturers and each one of them will make a pill that looks different. There are no rules saying that pills with the same ingredient have to look the same! The size, color, shape and imprint will all vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The only relevant regulations from the FDA state that they must have unique imprints for identification purposes, but these will even differ by manufacturer and strength of the med. In order to identify your pill for you and tell you what it is, you need to provide the complete imprint from the pill, all letters, numbers and/or symbols that may be on it, as well as the color and shape. Then I ca...

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 have hives and i am curious if there is any documentation on this type of reaction to atenolol? ## First of all, I would like to state that an allergic reaction, including a rash, is possible with any drug, that is one of the things that can happen when you are allergic to it. That said, yes, this is listed under the severe reaction section, meaning you should stop taking it and talk to your doctor immediately. ## I have been taking atenolol for five years and now I am having hives. the allergist and doctor dont contribute it to the medication but I am convinced this is causing my issues. did you experience the same,. ## I have also been taking atenolol for about 7 years. Everything has been going on fine all these years, but suddenly for the last 5-6 months, I am having allergies and...

For some reason I can only take the 25mg Atenonol from Sandoz, I take it to diminish heart palpitations from MVP, the pharmacy changed the manufacturer to Ateva one time And I began to have palpitations again. So now that Sandoz is on backorder and I cannot get it filled I am going to try Zydus. Can anyone in the pharmaceutical field tell me if it’s the same as Sandoz? Thank you ## Hi Worry17, The only difference between Zydus, Sandoz and other manufacturers is within the list of inactive ingredients, also known as binders/fillers that help make up the pill's composition. In many cases, the quality and quantity of these "so-called inert" substances are subject to an unknown level of scrutiny by the FDA. We don't know how much oversight is involved to monitor where ...

After 2 hours of taking this medication i get drowsy, my legs and feet. I can barely pick up my feet to go out to the mailbox. I also have a loss of appetite. ## This tablet contains the active ingredients Atenolol and Chlorthalidone, it is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiac diseases. Have you been carefully monitoring your fluid intake? The Chlorthalidone is a diuretic, which helps remove water from the body, to lower sodium build-up, which can contribute to high blood pressure, because one feeds off the other. High sodium leads to fluid build-up, fluid build-up increases the build-up of sodium, so it is kind of a vicious cycle. If you aren't taking in enough fluids, then you might be dehydrated and the symptoms you mentioned can occur if you are. Ano...

Which is better for Atenolol? Teva or Zydus? Which works better? Which has less side effects? Teva is a smaller pill than Zydus. ## Hello Grammy, Both brands should have the same side effects because Atenolol is the active ingredient and Teva/Zydus are only the brands. Every person reacts to medication uniquely and thus each person is going to have to decide which brand works best for them. Although they share the same active ingredient, often brands will have small differences such as size, inactive ingredients, shape, coating etc. I will provide you with some of these details I sourced from the NIH so you can make a more informed decision on which you would prefer to take. Teva 25mg size: 6mm Inactive ingredients: - Anhydrous Citric Acid - Croscarmellose Sodium - Magnesium Stearate - ...

I have been taking 25 mg of Atenolol for some time. It seems that since the shortage during the winter, I have had a bad taste in my mouth for some time. I am wondering if anyone else has noted this. It is the only medication I take. One doctor did wonder if any non-active ingredients in the Atenolol now being shipped have changed to create this effect. Has anyone else noticed this? ## KC94, I did a little research and according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information orally administered Atenolol is known to have a bitter taste. Different companies try to mask this by decreasing the solubility of the drug or by removing the interaction of the drug with the taste buds but it will vary from brand to brand and batch to batch. Basically some companies will flavor their drugs or...

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 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?
