Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Atenolol 6.25 mg/0.1 ml Topical Gel (Vet) is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions in animals. These conditions include hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia, angina, and cardiomyopathy. The medication is formulated as a semisolid gel, which is dispensed through a pump mechanism.

This compounded formulation of Atenolol 6.25 mg/0.1 ml Topical Gel (Vet) is a semisolid formulation dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. It is primarily used in the veterinary field for the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia, angina, and cardiomyopathy in animals.

Atenolol, the active ingredient, is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This helps to reduce blood pressure, heart rate, and strain on the heart. However, it should not be used in patients with asthma, diabetes, or certain heart conditions.

When using this formulation to treat hypertension, it is crucial to monitor blood pressure regularly to ensure that the medication is working effectively. Atenolol may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, so caution should be taken when the animal is moving or operating machinery.

In the treatment of heart failure, Atenolol can help to reduce the workload on the heart and improve symptoms. However, it may cause an increase in potassium levels, necessitating regular monitoring of these levels.

For the treatment of arrhythmia, Atenolol can help to reduce the frequency and severity of arrhythmia episodes. However, it may cause an increase in heart rate, necessitating regular monitoring of the heart rate.

In the treatment of angina, Atenolol can help to reduce the frequency and severity of angina episodes. However, it may cause an increase in blood pressure, necessitating regular monitoring of blood pressure.

For the treatment of cardiomyopathy, Atenolol can help to reduce the workload on the heart and improve symptoms. However, it may cause an increase in potassium levels, necessitating regular monitoring of these levels.

It is important to note that Atenolol may interact with other medications, so it is crucial to discuss all medications with your healthcare provider before starting Atenolol. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider.

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.
