PERTEN 25MG
Product Description
PERTEN 25MG tablet contains ATENOLOL, a beta-blocker medicine used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), fast heartbeat, irregular heart rhythm, and heart attack recovery support. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of contraction, which lowers blood pressure and decreases the heart’s oxygen demand. PERTEN 25MG tablet is commonly prescribed for hypertension, palpitations, migraine prevention, anxiety-related fast pulse, and long-term cardiac protection after myocardial infarction. It is usually available in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg strengths, with the exact PERTEN 25MG dosage based on heart rate, blood pressure, age, and kidney function. Regular use helps improve blood pressure control, reduce chest pain episodes, and protect the heart from future complications.
Pharmacist Note
Take PERTEN 25MG tablet at the same time every day, preferably in the morning after breakfast unless your doctor advises otherwise. Do not stop it suddenly, as this may cause rebound high blood pressure, worsening chest pain, or a rapid heartbeat. Monitor pulse regularly, and report unusual tiredness, dizziness, or very slow heart rate to your doctor.
