Uses
CARDINOL 50mg Tablets are used to manage hypertension, helping to reduce the risk of complications such as stroke and heart attack. They are also prescribed for angina, where atenolol reduces the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes by improving oxygen supply to the heart. In addition, atenolol is used to control certain arrhythmias by stabilizing the heart’s rhythm. This strength is often chosen as a standard maintenance dose for patients who require ongoing therapy to keep blood pressure and heart rhythm under control. By selectively blocking beta‑1 receptors in the heart, atenolol reduces cardiac workload, improves circulation, and provides long‑term cardiovascular protection.

Dosage and Administration
The tablets should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water. Dosage depends on the patient’s condition and response to treatment, and must always be adjusted under medical supervision. CARDINOL is usually taken once daily, with or without food.

Special Populations and Precautions
CARDINOL should be used cautiously in patients with asthma, COPD, diabetes, kidney impairment, or peripheral vascular disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use it if clearly indicated by a physician. It is contraindicated in patients with severe bradycardia, heart block, cardiogenic shock, or hypersensitivity to atenolol.
