Research Notes on Atenolol Dosage
Your physician will determine a proper dosing schedule of atenolol depending upon the condition for which you are being treated. In the treatment of hypertension, Atenolol is typically started at an initial dosage of 50 mg daily, but may be increased up to 100 mg. When atenolol is used to treat angina, an initial dosage of 50 mg is usually given, and may be increased up to 200 mg daily.1
Fast Facts:
- Those over the age of 65, or who have liver or kidney disease may be given a smaller dose of atenolol.2
- Be sure to take your medication at the same time each day in order to maintain a steady supply of the drug in your blood so that it may work effectively.2
- Do not suddenly stop taking atenolol, as this may cause severe health consequences.2
