Product Overview
Atenheal is a beta-blocker medication containing the active ingredient Atenolol. It works by inhibiting the effects of natural stress hormones like adrenaline on the cardiovascular system, resulting in reduced heart workload and lowered blood pressure.
Therapeutic Applications
This medication is indicated for:
– Management of hypertension (high blood pressure)
– Prevention of angina (chest pain) and myocardial infarction (heart attack)
– Treatment of certain cardiac arrhythmias
– Prophylaxis against migraine headaches in select patients
Administration Guidelines
Take Atenheal orally with or without food as prescribed. Dosage is individualized based on medical condition and therapeutic response. Maintain regular dosing schedule for optimal efficacy. Abrupt discontinuation may precipitate withdrawal symptoms including exacerbation of angina and potential myocardial infarction – always consult your physician before stopping treatment.
Mechanism of Action
Atenheal exerts its therapeutic effect through selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blockade, which:
– Decreases heart rate
– Reduces myocardial contractility
– Lowers systemic vascular resistance
These combined effects diminish cardiac workload and improve coronary circulation.
Dosage Protocol
The prescribed dosage varies according to:
– Specific medical indication
– Patient age and weight
– Individual therapeutic response
Standard regimen involves once-daily administration, preferably in the morning. Strictly adhere to your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency.
Therapeutic Advantages
- Effective blood pressure control with reduced risk of cardiovascular events
- Angina prophylaxis with improved exercise capacity in coronary artery disease
- Management of select cardiac dysrhythmias
- Potential migraine prophylaxis in appropriate candidates
Adverse Effects
Common adverse reactions may include:
– Fatigue
– Dizziness/lightheadedness
– Bradycardia
– Gastrointestinal disturbances
– Peripheral vasoconstriction (cold extremities)
