what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Atenolol Takeda is a heart-selective&nbsp;beta-blocker.&nbsp;Treatment with Atenolol Takeda reduces the effects of stress hormones associated with mental stress and physical exertion.&nbsp;This causes the heart to beat more slowly (&nbsp;heart rate&nbsp;decreases) and the heart pumps out less blood per minute (&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;drops).&nbsp;The reduced heart rate prevents the onset of the type of angina that is due to overexertion of the heart muscle.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atenolol Takeda is used to treating high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(&nbsp;hypertension&nbsp;),&nbsp;angina Pectoris and irregular heartbeat, as well as to reduce the risk of heart attack and to protect the heart during and after a heart attack.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Atenolol Takeda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Atenolol Takeda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to atenolol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)<\/li><li>if you have untreated heart failure or a disorder of the heart&#8217;s conduction system (severe heart block)<\/li><li>if you have very slow or irregular heart activity of a particular type (&#8220;sick sinus node&#8221;)<\/li><li>if you have very low&nbsp;blood pressure<\/li><li>if you have poor blood circulation<\/li><li>if you have an untreated&nbsp;adrenal&nbsp;tumor&nbsp;(&nbsp;pheochromocytoma&nbsp;)<\/li><li>if you have fasted for several days or when the heart can no longer fulfill its pumping function (&nbsp;cardiogenic&nbsp;shock&nbsp;)<\/li><li>if you have a high content of acidic substances in the body (disturbance in the body&#8217;s acid-base balance) e.g.&nbsp;in&nbsp;diabetes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Atenolol Takeda.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any of the following conditions, you should consult your doctor before starting treatment with Atenolol Takeda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

that come with an increased amount of thyroid hormones in the blood (&nbsp;thyrotoxicosis&nbsp;).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you get a slow&nbsp;heart rate&nbsp;while using Atenolol Takeda.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before anesthesia, your doctor should inform you that you are being treated with Atenolol Takeda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Atenolol Takeda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effect of the treatment can be affected if Atenolol Takeda is taken at the same time as certain other medicinal substances against:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>irregular heartbeat,&nbsp;hypertension, angina, or&nbsp;heart
