Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation of Atenolol 5 mg/ml Naso Gastric Tube Liquid is a specially designed medication for administration via a gastric tube. This method of delivery ensures precise and safe administration of the drug to patients who are unable to take oral medications. This is commonly used in hospital settings or for patients with swallowing difficulties.

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). It is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used to lower the risk of death after a heart attack. Atenolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

It should not be used to treat sudden chest pain or migraines and should not be used to prevent a heart attack. It is also not recommended for use in patients with certain types of irregular heartbeat.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, which may include dizziness, lightheadedness, tiredness, and nausea as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Prescribers should monitor patients closely for changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and general well-being. Regular follow-up appointments and blood tests may be necessary to monitor the patient's response to the medication. Adjustments to the dose may be necessary based on the patient's response to treatment.

If you have any questions about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). It is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used to lower the risk of death after a heart attack. However, it may interact with other medications, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of serious side effects.

Atenolol should not be used with certain drugs because very serious interactions may occur. If you are taking clonidine, disopyramide, or medication for heart rhythm (such as quinidine, propafenone, flecainide), tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting atenolol. If you have stopped taking clonidine recently, your doctor or pharmacist knows about it before you start taking atenolol. If clonidine is stopped suddenly, it can cause an increase in blood pressure.

Other medications can affect the removal of atenolol from your body, which may affect how atenolol works. Examples include calcium channel blockers (such as verapamil, diltiazem), SSRI antidepressants (such as fluoxetine, paroxetine), epinephrine, fingolimod, among others.

Check the labels on all your medicines (such as cough-and-cold products, diet aids, or NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen) because they may contain ingredients that could increase your heart rate or blood pressure. Ask your pharmacist for more details.

Atenolol is very similar to metoprolol. Do not use medications containing metoprolol while using atenolol.

This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about the interactions of Atenolol with other medications, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to ensure your safety and well-being.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
