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 decrease cardiac oxygen demand and improve coronary blood flow.
Dosage Protocol
