Description

Normitab 50mg is a cardiovascular medication manufactured by NABIQASIM Industries, formulated with Atenolol as its active ingredient. This pack contains 28 tablets and represents a standard-strength option within the beta-blocker class of drugs, commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure and various heart-related conditions. Atenolol works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of contractions, which helps lower blood pressure and decreases the heart’s oxygen demand. Normitab 50mg is often used as a starting or standard maintenance dose for patients with hypertension, angina, or certain heart rhythm disorders.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Normitab 50mg is Atenolol, present at a strength of 50mg per tablet. The formulation also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet stability, structure, and consistent absorption in the body.

Dosage Form

Normitab is available as an oral tablet, with each tablet containing 50mg of Atenolol. The pack includes 28 tablets, intended for use as directed by a healthcare provider.

Uses

Normitab 50mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Managing high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Relieving symptoms of angina (chest pain) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart
• Controlling certain irregular heart rhythms
• Serving as a standard starting dose for patients beginning beta-blocker therapy

This medication should only be used for conditions diagnosed and confirmed by a qualified physician.

How to Use

Normitab tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; avoid crushing or chewing unless advised otherwise. Do not stop taking this medication abruptly without medical guidance, as sudden discontinuation may worsen angina or cause a rebound increase in blood pressure or heart rate.

Side Effects

Some patients may experience side effects while taking Normitab, including:

• Fatigue or dizziness
• Cold hands or feet
• Slow heart rate
• Mild digestive discomfort

In rare cases, signs of a serious reaction such as difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, or fainting may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Normitab should be used during pregnancy only if clearly necessary and advised by a physician, as beta-blockers may affect fetal growth and heart rate. It is also advised to consult a doctor before using this medication while breastfeeding, as Atenolol may pass into breast milk. Pregnant or nursing women should seek medical guidance before starting treatment.

Storage Instructions

Store Normitab tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the medication in its original packaging, out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
