How Much Atenolol Can Be Taken In A Day?

Im pretty sure I forgot to take my Atenolol this morning I take one 25 mg pill once a day. Will I be fine to just resume taking it as normal tomorrow? I don t want to take one now if by chance I did actually take it this morning and just don t remember.

Hi,

If you are unsure whether you have taken your Atenolol dose for the day, it is generally recommended to skip the missed dose and continue with the next scheduled dose as normal. Taking a double dose to make up for a missed dose is not recommended.

As for the maximum daily dose of Atenolol, it can vary depending on the individual and their specific medical condition. The usual dose range for Atenolol is 25-100 mg per day, but your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you based on your medical history and response to the medication. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and not exceed the prescribed dose unless directed to do so by your doctor.

If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
