Crescent Atenolol 100mg is used to treat high blood pressure, manage angina (chest pain), and help prevent heart attacks. It’s also prescribed for arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) and sometimes used off-label for anxiety or migraine prevention.

Benefits

How It Works

Atenolol works by blocking the effects of epinephrine (adrenaline) on beta receptors in the heart and blood vessels. This action slows heart rate, reduces the force of heart contractions, and lowers blood pressure. By decreasing the heart’s workload, it helps improve blood flow and reduce strain on the cardiovascular system.

The typical starting dose is 50mg once daily, which may be increased to 100mg if necessary. Some patients may require 25mg daily. Always take Crescent Atenolol 100mg exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking this medication abruptly without medical advice.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, cold hands and feet, and slow heartbeat. Less common side effects can include sleep disturbances, depression, and shortness of breath. If you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions, seek immediate medical attention.

Warning

Do not stop taking Crescent Atenolol 100mg suddenly, as this can lead to a rapid increase in blood pressure or worsen angina. Patients with certain conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, should use this medication with caution and under close medical supervision.
