Description

Normitab 25mg is a cardiovascular medication manufactured by NABIQASIM Industries, formulated with Atenolol as its active ingredient. This pack contains 28 tablets and represents the lowest available strength within the Normitab range, typically prescribed for elderly patients, those with kidney impairment, or individuals sensitive to standard beta-blocker doses. 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 25mg allows physicians to introduce beta-blocker therapy cautiously, minimizing the risk of side effects before considering any dose adjustments.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Normitab 25mg is Atenolol, present at a strength of 25mg 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 25mg of Atenolol. The pack includes 28 tablets, intended for use as directed by a healthcare provider.

Uses

Normitab 25mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Managing high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients requiring a cautious dosing approach
• Relieving mild symptoms of angina (chest pain) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart
• Supporting heart rhythm control in sensitive or elderly patients
• Serving as a low-dose option for patients with kidney impairment or heightened medication sensitivity

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:

• Mild 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.

FAQs

Q: Why might a doctor prescribe the 25mg dose specifically?
This lowest strength is often used for elderly patients, those with kidney concerns, or individuals highly sensitive to beta-blockers, allowing a very gradual introduction to therapy.

Q: Can the dose be increased later if needed?
Yes, but only under close medical supervision based on how well blood pressure responds to treatment.

Q: Can Normitab be stopped suddenly if symptoms improve?
No, this medication should never be stopped abruptly, as doing so may worsen angina or cause a sudden rise in blood pressure or heart rate; always consult your doctor first.

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is close to your next scheduled dose — do not double the dose.
