Composition

Atenolol (50 Mg)

Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 is used to manage high blood pressure and treat heart conditions like angina and arrhythmias. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart's workload, helping to lower blood pressure. This medicine belongs to a class of medications known as beta blockers.

This tablet is also beneficial in preventing episodes of angina (chest pain) and significantly enhances survival rates for heart attacks. This medicine plays a crucial role in reducing the strain on your heart, allowing it to function more efficiently.

Before starting this medicine, be sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or ongoing medications. If you experience any side effects during the course of this medication, promptly inform your doctor.

Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 is used to manage high blood pressure, reduce chest pain in people with angina, and lower the risk of heart-related deaths after a heart attack.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Remember not to exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.
Never stop using this medicine without first discussing it with your doctor.

Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 is taken orally.

Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 may have the following common side effects:

Fatigue
Dizziness
Sleep disturbances
Slow heart rate
Cold extremities: This means your hands and feet might feel unusually cool to touch.
Gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, constipation

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips for managing common side effects:

Fatigue: If you feel tired after taking this medicine, consider taking it at bedtime.
Gastrointestinal symptoms: If you experience stomach upset such as nausea or diarrhoea, try taking Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 with meals.

Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 contains atenolol (50 mg). Here's how it works:

Beta-1 Receptor Blocking: Atenolol competitively inhibits the binding of certain body-produced substances like epinephrine to beta-1 receptors in your heart. This action reduces heart rate and contractility, thereby decreasing the workload on the heart.
Reduced Blood Pressure: Atenolol effectively decreases blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and slowing down the heart rate. This action reduces the risk of serious hypertension-related complications, such as stroke or kidney problems.
Improved Survival Post Heart Attack: When initiated after a heart attack, atenolol helps lower the risk of cardiovascular mortality by maintaining steady blood pressure levels and reducing strain on the heart.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised when taking Tensicard 50 MG Tablet 14 if pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
