About Atenex 25 Tablet

Atenex 25 Tablet belongs to a group of heart disease-related medicines known as beta-blockers. It helps in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and chest pain with painful tightness in the chest (angina pectoris). It protects the heart in the early treatment after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). High blood pressure increases the heart's workload, and if it continues for a long time, the heart and blood vessels (arteries) may not function properly. It can damage the arteries of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. However, lowering blood pressure may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

Atenex 25 Tablet contains atenolol, which primarily helps relax our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. Thus, Atenex 25 Tablet helps lower your raised blood pressure and reduce the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future.

Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Atenex 25 Tablet based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience headaches, cold hands/feet, diarrhoea, feeling sick (nausea), tired, aching muscles, depressed mood, and dizziness.

ATENOLOL-25MGHeart failure
Severe
How does the disease interact with Atenex 25 Tablet:
In general, individuals with overt congestive heart failure (CHF) should not be treated with beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications, also known as beta-blockers. Beta-blockade can aggravate heart failure because sympathetic activation may be crucial in maintaining hemodynamic function in these patients. However, in some CHF patients who are adequately compensated and using digitalis, diuretics, an ACE inhibitor, and/or nitrates, beta-blocker medication may be advantageous and can be taken judiciously.

How to manage the interaction:
If you have a serious cardiac issue such as very slow heartbeats, or heart failure, you should not take Atenex 25 Tablet.Do not discontinue Atenex 25 Tablet without first consulting your doctor. Stopping abruptly may aggravate your issue.

Severe
How does the disease interact with Atenex 25 Tablet:
Beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications, also known as beta-blockers, can hide hypoglycemic symptoms such as tremors, tachycardia, and changes in blood pressure. Furthermore, nonselective beta-blockers might prevent catecholamine-mediated glycogenolysis, which would intensify insulin-induced hypoglycemia and prolong the return to normal blood glucose levels. Larger doses of beta-1-selective medicines may also exhibit these effects because cardioselectivity is not absolute. When treating individuals on beta-blockers who have diabetes or are prone to sudden hypoglycemia, caution should be exercised.

How to manage the interaction:
If Atenex 25 Tablet is necessary in diabetic individuals,it should be taken with care. Although it may hide rapid heart rate caused by low blood sugar levels, other symptoms such as dizziness and sweating may be unaffected.It does not aggravate insulin-induced low sugar levels at prescribed dosages and, does not prolong the blood sugar recovery to normal levels.

If you are allergic to Atenex 25 Tablet, or if you are undergoing allergy treatments or skin tests, you should use it cautiously.
ATENOLOL-25MGChronic ischaemic heart disease
Severe
How does the disease interact with Atenex 25 Tablet:
Using beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications (also known as beta-blockers) over an extended period of time may result in increased sensitivity to catecholamines. In individuals with coronary artery disease, exacerbations of angina, myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrhythmias have been seen in response to sudden medication discontinuation. When necessary, beta-blocker medication should be stopped gradually in patients with coronary insufficiency over the course of one to two weeks with progressive dosage reductions. Patients should be warned not to stop taking their medications without first speaking to their doctor. Beta-blocker therapy should typically be resumed, at least briefly, in patients who experience an aggravation of angina after discontinuing it, along with other clinically relevant therapies.

How to manage the interaction:
You should not abruptly discontinue using Atenex 25 Tablet. Stopping abruptly may aggravate your issue.If you are being treated for high blood pressure, continue to take this medication even if you feel OK. Symptoms of high blood pressure are not always present. You might require blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
ATENOLOL-25MGOther peripheral vascular diseases
Severe
How does the disease interact with Atenex 25 Tablet:
Beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking drugs, often known as beta-blockers, decrease cardiac output and may cause or exacerbate symptoms of arterial insufficiency in patients with peripheral vascular disease because of their detrimental inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart. Additionally, by inhibiting beta-2 receptors in peripheral arteries, nonselective beta-blockers may reduce catecholamine-mediated vasodilation during exercise. Patients with peripheral vascular disease should receive beta-blocker therapy with caution. It is essential to keep a close eye on the arterial obstruction's development.

How to manage the interaction:
Do not discontinue Atenex 25 Tablet without first consulting your doctor. Stopping abruptly may aggravate your issue.
ATENOLOL-25MGAsthma
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Atenex 25 Tablet:
In general, beta-blockers, particularly cardioselective beta-blockers, should not be administered to patients with bronchospasm. Cardioselective beta-blockers may be used in individuals with bronchospastic illness who do not respond to or cannot tolerate other antihypertensive medications due to their relative beta-1 selectivity. It is best to use these drugs at the lowest dose possible because beta-1 selectivity is not always present. To prevent the increased plasma levels brought on by the longer dosing intervals, think about giving smaller doses. If the dosage must be raised, splitting the dose may be an option to reduce peak blood levels. It is advised to have bronchodilators, such as beta-2 agonists, on hand or to deliver them simultaneously if necessary.

How to manage the interaction:
Atenex 25 Tablet in general, Should not be used in patients with asthma.it should be used with caution in individuals with asthma who do not react to or cannot tolerate alternative medications for lowering blood pressure .
