Tenoloc Tablet 100 mg contains Atenolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris, and other cardiovascular conditions. By targeting beta-1 receptors primarily in the heart, Atenolol decreases heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen consumption, helping to control blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart.

Tenoloc Tablet 100 mg provides a higher strength dose for patients requiring greater control over blood pressure or more effective prevention of angina attacks. Its oral formulation allows once-daily administration, promoting adherence for long-term cardiovascular management.

Indications

Tenoloc Tablet 100 mg is indicated for:

• Hypertension: Lowers elevated blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage

• Chronic stable angina: Prevents angina attacks by reducing myocardial oxygen demand

• Post-myocardial infarction management: Supports recovery and reduces the risk of recurrent cardiac events

• Certain arrhythmias: Helps manage supraventricular tachycardia and other specific heart rhythm disorders under medical supervision

It is intended for long-term therapy and is not suitable for acute relief of hypertensive emergencies.

Mechanism of Action

Atenolol, the active ingredient in Tenoloc Tablet, is a cardioselective beta-1 blocker. Its mechanism of action includes:

• Beta-1 receptor blockade: Reduces heart rate (negative chronotropic effect) and cardiac contractility (negative inotropic effect), lowering cardiac output

• Decreased myocardial oxygen demand: Reduces workload on the heart, helping to prevent angina

• Blood pressure reduction: Lowers systemic blood pressure through decreased cardiac output

• Cardioselectivity: Minimal effect on beta-2 receptors, reducing the risk of bronchoconstriction compared to non-selective beta-blockers

Through these mechanisms, Atenolol effectively manages hypertension, prevents angina attacks, and provides post-heart attack cardiovascular protection.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual adult dose is 100 mg orally once daily, with or without food

• Dose may be adjusted based on clinical response, with careful titration recommended

• Patients with renal impairment may require dose adjustments due to partial kidney excretion of Atenolol

• Consistent daily use is essential to maintain optimal blood pressure control and angina prevention

• Abrupt discontinuation should be avoided, as it may precipitate angina or worsen hypertension; tapering under medical supervision is recommended

Precautions and Warnings

• Asthma or COPD patients: Use with caution, although Atenolol is relatively cardioselective

• Diabetic patients: May mask symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as rapid heartbeat

• Monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and kidney function regularly during therapy

• Inform healthcare providers of all medications, including other antihypertensives or antiarrhythmics, to prevent interactions

• Avoid sudden cessation of therapy to prevent rebound hypertension or angina

Side Effects

Tenoloc Tablet 100 mg is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include:

• Fatigue or dizziness

• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)

• Cold hands and feet

• Gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or mild stomach upset

• Rare side effects: hypotension, depression, sleep disturbances, or worsening heart failure

Seek immediate medical attention if severe dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath occurs.
