Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Atenolol 6.25 mg/ml Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication designed for oral administration. This liquid formulation provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form, ensuring accurate delivery of medication. It is particularly beneficial for patients who find swallowing solid dosage forms challenging, such as children and the elderly.

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), and to improve survival after a heart attack. By lowering high blood pressure, it helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. 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 is important to take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Do not suddenly stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Your condition may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped.

Side effects can include tiredness, slow heartbeat, and dizziness. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: certain types of heart rhythm problems (such as slow heartbeat, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block), breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema), kidney disease, liver disease, severe allergic reactions.

Atenolol 6.25 mg/ml Oral Liquid should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.

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's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this medication.

Atenolol can interact with a variety of medications, which can alter how the medication works or increase the risk of serious side effects. Not all possible interactions are listed here, so it's important to inform your doctor about all the medications you're currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal products.

Some products that may interact with this drug include alpha blockers (such as prazosin), calcium channel blockers (such as diltiazem, verapamil), drugs that can increase the level of potassium in the blood (such as ARBs including losartan/valsartan, birth control pills containing drospirenone), clonidine, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen).

If you are currently using any of these medications listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting atenolol. Also, before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.

Atenolol can also interact with certain foods. For instance, if taken with a high-fat meal, the amount of atenolol in your bloodstream may increase, leading to increased side effects. It's generally recommended to take atenolol on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.

Remember, this medication has been prescribed because your doctor 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. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Atenolol 6.25 mg/ml Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication that is designed to be taken orally. It is a liquid form of the drug Atenolol, which belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers. This formulation is often used when patients have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules, or for pediatric and geriatric populations who may require a more easily ingested form of medication.

The active ingredient, 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. By doing so, it helps to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. It is also used to treat chest pain (angina) and to improve survival after a heart attack.

Atenolol 6.25 mg/ml Oral Liquid is absorbed into the bloodstream after it is swallowed. The medication then travels to the heart and blood vessels where it exerts its therapeutic effects. The liquid formulation allows for a more rapid absorption and onset of action compared to solid dosage forms. It also allows for more accurate dosing, especially in patients who require low or precise doses of the medication.

It's important to note that this medication must be taken regularly to be effective. It should not be used to treat sudden chest pain or migraines and it should not be stopped suddenly without consulting your doctor as this can lead to serious heart-related side effects.

As with any medication, Atenolol 6.25 mg/ml Oral Liquid may cause side effects. Common side effects include tiredness, nausea, and dizziness. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. It's important to discuss any concerns or questions you may have with your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about Atenolol 6.25 mg/ml Oral Liquid, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to help you understand your medication and how it works to manage your health conditions.

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.
