WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET

Atenolol GH. It does not contain

All medicines have benefits and
risks. Your doctor has weighed
the risks of you taking Atenolol
GH against the benefits they
expect it will have for you.

WHAT ATENOLOL GH IS
USED FOR
Atenolol GH belongs to a group
of medicines called beta-
blockers. It works by affecting
the body's response to certain
nerve impulses, especially in the
heart. As a result, it decreases
the heart's need for blood and
oxygen and therefore reduces
the amount of work the heart
has to do. It widens the blood
vessels in the body, causing
blood pressure to fall. It also
helps the heart to beat more
regularly.
Atenolol GH is used to:
•
lower high blood pressure,
which is called hypertension;
•
prevent angina;
•
treat irregular heart rhythm or
beat called arrhythmias;
•
treat heart attacks or reduce
your risk of heart
complications following a
heart attack.
Atenolol GH may be either used
alone or in combination with
other medicines to treat your
condition.
_HYPERTENSION _
_ _
All people have blood pressure.
This pressure helps to push
blood all around your body.
Your blood pressure changes
during the day, depending on
how busy you are or how you
are feeling.
You have hypertension (high
blood pressure) when your
blood pressure stays higher than
is needed, even when you are
calm and relaxed.
Regular blood pressure checks
are the only way of knowing that
you have hypertension. There
are usually no symptoms of
hypertension and you may feel
fine. If hypertension is not
treated, serious health problems
such as stroke, heart disease
and kidney failure may occur.
Atenolol GH helps to lower your
blood pressure.

daily doses of 50 to 100 mg,
