Secure Encrypted Payments
Uses of Atenolol
Atenolol is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It also is used to prevent angina (chest pain) and improve survival after a heart attack. Atenolol is in a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure.
Precautions and Warnings
You should not use this atenolol if you have a serious heart condition such as “AV block,” very slow heartbeats, or heart failure.
Do not stop taking atenolol without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.
If you are having any type of surgery, be sure the surgeon knows ahead of time that you are using this medicine.
Atenolol can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol, which could increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking this medicine.
Atenolol is only part of a complete program of treatment for hypertension that may also include diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely if you are being treated for hypertension.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
You should not use atenolol if you are allergic to it, or if you have:
- a serious heart condition such as “AV block” (second or third degree);
- slow heartbeats;
- heart failure; or
- if your heart cannot pump blood properly.
To make sure atenolol is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- congestive heart failure;
- coronary artery disease (hardened arteries);
- asthma, bronchitis, emphysema;
- diabetes;
- overactive thyroid;
- liver or kidney disease;
- pheochromocytoma (tumor of the adrenal gland);
- peripheral vascular disease such as Raynaud’s syndrome; or
- allergies (or if you are undergoing allergy treatments or skin-testing).
Atenolol may harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you become pregnant while using this medicine. Atenolol can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding a baby.
Atenolol is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.

Will the pills or packaging be different when I order from YouDrugstore?
If you usually take a brand name pill and have instead ordered a generic drug, your pills may look different. Although they may look different, generic versions of a drug have the same active ingredients and work in exactly the same way as the brand-name medication. The appearance of medication or packaging may also differ from country to country, even though the strength is the same. For example, Celexa 20MG is usually a peach-colored pill, but in Canada it is white and slightly smaller, even though the same company manufactures both pills. Two different brands of generic medication may also look different because they are made by different manufacturers, although they are equivalent in every other way.
How does medication from Canada differ from medication in other regions of the world?
Canada has high standards and regulations governing the manufacturing of medication and health products and the licensing of doctors and pharmacists. Despite some possible cosmetic differences, medication from Canada is the same quality and strength as medication from other areas like the United States.
Why are prices on YouDrugstore different from prices at other pharmacies?
Unlike some regions of the world, Canadian medication prices are regulated with limits on how much patients have to pay for their prescriptions. This means that Canadian drug costs are often lower than other regions.
