>> More Medications To Treat Hypertension
Tenormin is a brand name of a medication used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Tenormin can be also be prescribed to prevent angina or chest pain.
Doctors prescribe Tenormin alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Tenormin is also sometimes prescribed by doctors to treat the symptoms of angina and chest pain.
Tenormin contains the generic ingredient atenolol, which belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers. Tenormin works by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. Tenormin slows the heart rate and decreases cardiac output, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Take Tenormin exactly as your doctor prescribed because the treatment is individualized to you and your condition. Swallow the tablet whole with water at the same time each day. For high blood pressure, the usual adult dosage is 50mg to 100mg, taken orally once per day. For chest pain, up to 200mg daily may be needed. Do not take your tablets after the expiry date marked on the container.
These may not be all the side effects of Tenormin 100mg.
If you have an allergy to atenolol, or any of the other ingredients in this medicine, do not take Tenormin. You should not use Tenormin if you have severe heart damage, irregular heartbeats, a heart block or a tumour of the adrenal gland called pheochromocytoma.
Discuss your medical history with your doctor before taking this medication, especially if you have asthma, thyroid problems, diabetes, heart or circulation problems, bronchitis or emphysema. Do not stop taking Tenormin abruptly as this may cause chest pain or a heart attack. Your doctor will help you discontinue gradually.

High blood pressure is a condition of the cardiovascular system where the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels is too high. Otherwise known as hypertension, you have high blood pressure if your blood pressure reading is above 140/90. Often overlooked because there are no obvious symptoms, but if left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. Sometimes hypertension has symptoms like headaches, vision problems or shortness of breath. As people age, blood pressure usually increases naturally. Excessive consumption of alcohol, lack of exercise, obesity and stress are also contributing factors.
