Side Effects of Atpure SA Tab

Fatigue, cold extremities, bradycardia, heart failure, headache, dizziness, hallucinations, confusion and sleep disturbances.

Drug Interactions

Disopyramide when given in combination with atenolol depresses myocardial contractility and may precipitate cardiac failure. Efficacy may be antagonised by NSAIDs. Potentially Fatal: Concurrent use with verapamil may precipitate heart failure in patients with impaired left ventricular function. Simultaneous withdrawal of atenolol and clonidine may result in severe rebound hypertension.
