Normitab Plus Tablet

Normitab Plus Tablet contains atenolol as its active ingredient. It is available in tablet form and is primarily prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Active Ingredient:

• Atenolol: Atenolol belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels. This results in decreased heart rate and reduced blood pressure.

Uses:

Normitab Plus Tablet is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Angina (chest pain)

Mechanism of Action:

Atenolol exerts its pharmacological effects by selectively blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors, primarily located in the heart. By doing so, it reduces the heart rate and cardiac output, thereby lowering blood pressure. Additionally, atenolol decreases the workload of the heart, which can help to prevent chest pain (angina) in individuals with coronary artery disease.

Administration:

Normitab Plus Tablet is administered orally with water. The dosage and frequency of administration should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s medical condition and response to treatment. It can be taken with or without food.

Side Effects:

Common side effects associated with Normitab Plus Tablet may include:

• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Cold hands or feet
• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Headache

Precautions:

Before using Normitab Plus Tablet, individuals should consider the following precautions:

• Inform healthcare providers about any known allergies to atenolol or similar medications.
• Monitor blood pressure and heart rate regularly while taking atenolol.
• Use caution when discontinuing atenolol, as abrupt withdrawal may exacerbate angina or precipitate myocardial infarction (heart attack).
• Avoid concurrent use of alcohol or other medications that may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
• Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen while taking Normitab Plus Tablet.
