Normitab 25mg Tablet

Normitab 25mg Tablet contains Atenolol as its active ingredient. It is a medication available in tablet form, primarily prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain heart conditions.

Active Ingredient:

• Atenolol: Atenolol is a beta-blocker medication that works by blocking the action of certain natural substances like adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. This leads to a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure.

Uses:

Normitab 25mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Prevention of angina (chest pain)
• Management of certain heart rhythm disorders

Mechanism of Action:

Atenolol exerts its pharmacological effects by selectively blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. By doing so, it reduces the workload of the heart and decreases heart rate, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. This helps in the prevention of angina episodes and may also be beneficial in managing certain heart rhythm disorders.
