Description

* Arterial hypertension: the 50 mg tablet is particularly suitable for patients with renal insufficiency, in whom the dosage must be adjusted to the degree of renal insufficiency.
* Supraventricular arrhythmias: – paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (in preventive or curative treatment);
– atrial fibrillation or flutter in the event of an insufficient response to digitalis at maximum doses and in cases where digitalis are contraindicated or have an unfavorable benefit/risk ratio.
* Ventricular arrhythmias: – ventricular extrasystoles (preventive or curative treatment) in the event of extrasystoles resulting from an increase in sympathetic activity; – ventricular tachycardias and ventricular fibrillations (preventive treatment), in particular when the ventricular abnormality results from significant sympathetic activity.
* Prophylaxis of angina attacks during exercise. Acute myocardial infarction: replacement with IV injection. (Atenolol reduces mortality in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. Treatment is initiated no later than the 12th hour.)
