... Show moreAdministration
Concomitant admin w/ reserpine may increase hypotension and bradycardia. Additive w/ Ca channel blockers, hydralazine, methyldopa. Increased risk of bradycardia and heart block w/ verapamil and diltiazem. May decrease hypotensive effects w/ NSAIDs (e.g. indometacin). Enhanced bradycardic effect w/ disopyramide, amiodarone or digitalis glycosides. May exacerbate rebound HTN upon discontinuance of clonidine treatment.
Adult Dose
Compensated heart failure. Variant angina, acute MI, DM; peripheral vascular disorders; hepatic and renal dysfunction; elderly patients, children. Lactation. If atenolol and clonidine are co-admin, then gradual withdrawal of clonidine should take place a few days after withdrawal of atenolol.
Lactation: Drug enters breast milk; neonates born to mothers who are receiving atenolol at parturition or breastfeeding may be at risk for hypoglycemia and bradycardia; use with caution
Renal Dose
Atenolol is a competitive cardioselective beta1-blocker and does not have effect on ?beta2-receptors except in high doses. It reduces resting and exercise-induced heart rate as well as myocardial contractility.
Mode of Action
May be taken with or without food.
