atenolol 12.5 mg

I love the 12.5 tablet. Atenolol works best in divided doses, Taken once a day at any dose it starts to ware of at 8 hours with a noticeable increase of heartbeat and higher blood pressure. dosed at 2-3 times a day this affect is absent. When you require a low dose the 12.5 tablet is great, since it always isn't easy to split a tablet perfectly. atenolol is a good medication because it dose not cross the blood brain barrier, ( get into the brain) resulting in few side effects like being slowed down and tiered.
