How does TENORMIN work?
TENORMIN is a cardioselective beta-blocker. It slows down heart rate so your heart doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood through the body. This puts less stress on the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure. TENORMIN also improves blood flow to the heart, which eases chest pain.
How do I take TENORMIN?
TENORMIN is dosed as follows:
- High blood pressure
- Adults: The typical starting dose is 50 mg by mouth once daily. Your provider will raise your dose every few weeks if you need to lower your blood pressure more. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg once daily
- Chest pain (angina)
- Adults: The typical starting dose is 50 mg by mouth once daily. Your provider will raise your dose within a week if you need better control of your chest pain. The usual maintenance dose is 100 mg once daily. The maximum dose is 200 mg once daily
- After a heart attack
- Adults: TENORMIN is usually given as an injection into the veins (IV) in a hospital setting by a trained provider after a heart attack. Afterwards, the typical dose is 100 mg by mouth once daily, or 50 mg by mouth twice daily as directed by the provider
Your dose might differ if you have kidney problems.
