THERABLOC 100MG TABLET (TABLET)

Special Precautions : Patients with bronchospastic disease should, in general, not receive ?-blockers. Because of its relative ?1-selectivity, however, atenolol may be used with caution in patients with bronchospastic disease who do not respond to, or cannot tolerate other antihypertensive treatment. Since ?1-selectivity is not absolute, the lowest possible dose of atenolol should be used with therapy initiated at 50 mg and ?2-stimulating agent should be made available. Atenolol should be used with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus. The drug may mask the tachycardia but usually not the dizziness and sweating seen with insulin-induced hypoglycemia. ?-Blocking agents, especially the nonselective ones, may potentially precipitate severe acute hyperglycemia. Adverse reaction: Tiredness. Low blood pressure (hypotension) Slow heart rate. Cold extremities. Dizziness upon standing. Depression. Nausea. Dreaming. Direction for use: Atenolol should be used with caution and in reduced dosage in patients with impaired renal function, especially when creatinine clearance is <35 mL/min/1.73 m2. It is recommended that patients receiving atenolol after hemodialysis be administered with Therabloc under close supervision in a hospital setting, since marked hypotension may occur.
