About Ziblok-50 Tablet

Ziblok-50 Tablet belongs to a group of heart disease-related medicines known as beta-blockers. It helps in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and chest pain with painful tightness in the chest (angina pectoris). It protects the heart in the early treatment after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). High blood pressure increases the heart's workload, and if it continues for a long time, the heart and blood vessels (arteries) may not function properly. It can damage the arteries of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. However, lowering blood pressure may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

Ziblok-50 Tablet contains atenolol, which primarily helps relax our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. Thus, Ziblok-50 Tablet helps lower your raised blood pressure and reduce the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future.

Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Ziblok-50 Tablet based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience headaches, cold hands/feet, diarrhoea, feeling sick (nausea), tired, aching muscles, depressed mood, and dizziness. Most of these side effects of Ziblok-50 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Don't stop taking Ziblok-50 Tablet without talking to your doctor first. Stopping Ziblok-50 Tablet gradually may cause heart rhythm and blood pressure changes and cause chest pain or a heart attack. Your doctor will lower your dose slowly over some time to help prevent these symptoms. If you are a pregnant woman or nursing mother, do not consume Ziblok-50 Tablet without consulting your doctor. Talk to your doctor before taking the Ziblok-50 Tablet if you have a very slow heartbeat, asthma, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis (thyroid gland disorders), serious heart condition (sick sinus syndrome) or any heart blockage, and severe kidney disease. Ziblok-50 Tablet is not recommended for children below 12 years. Before taking the Ziblok-50 Tablet , inform your doctor about your medical history and ongoing therapies to rule out potential adverse effects or interactions.

How to manage the interaction:
Significant accumulation of the Ziblok-50 Tablet occurs in patients with a creatinine clearance below 35 mL/min/1.73 m2. You are advised to consult your doctor for dose modifications
ATENOLOL-50MGOther cardiac arrhythmias
Severe
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
Patients with sinus bradyarrhythmia or heart block greater than the first degree should not use beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications. The use of beta-blockers is likely to make these situations worse because of their detrimental inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart.

How to manage the interaction:
The use of Ziblok-50 Tablet is likely to exacerbate conditions such as slow heart rate, heart block. Therefore you are advised to take it cautiously.
ATENOLOL-50MGHeart failure
Severe
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
In general, individuals with overt congestive heart failure (CHF) should not be treated with beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications, also known as beta-blockers. Beta-blockade can aggravate heart failure because sympathetic activation may be crucial in maintaining hemodynamic function in these patients. However, in some CHF patients who are adequately compensated and using digitalis, diuretics, an ACE inhibitor, and/or nitrates, beta-blocker medication may be advantageous and can be taken judiciously.

How to manage the interaction:
If you have a serious cardiac issue such as very slow heartbeats, or heart failure, you should not take Ziblok-50 Tablet.Do not discontinue Ziblok-50 Tablet without first consulting your doctor. Stopping abruptly may aggravate your issue.
ATENOLOL-50MGType 1 diabetes mellitus
Severe
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
Beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications, also known as beta-blockers, can hide hypoglycemic symptoms such as tremors, tachycardia, and changes in blood pressure. Furthermore, nonselective beta-blockers might prevent catecholamine-mediated glycogenolysis, which would intensify insulin-induced hypoglycemia and prolong the return to normal blood glucose levels. Larger doses of beta-1-selective medicines may also exhibit these effects because cardioselectivity is not absolute. When treating individuals on beta-blockers who have diabetes or are prone to sudden hypoglycemia, caution should be exercised.

How to manage the interaction:
If Ziblok-50 Tablet is necessary in diabetic individuals,it should be taken with care. Although it may hide rapid heart rate caused by low blood sugar levels, other symptoms such as dizziness and sweating may be unaffected.It does not aggravate insulin-induced low sugar levels at prescribed dosages and, does not prolong the blood sugar recovery to normal levels.
ATENOLOL-50MGAdverse effects, not elsewhere classified
Severe
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
Higher reactivity to the offending allergens may be linked to the use of beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications in patients with a history of allergic reactions or anaphylaxis. During beta-blocker therapy, attacks may become more frequent and/or more severe.

How to manage the interaction:
If you are allergic to Ziblok-50 Tablet, or if you are undergoing allergy treatments or skin tests, you should use it cautiously.
ATENOLOL-50MGChronic ischaemic heart disease
Severe
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
Using beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking medications (also known as beta-blockers) over an extended period of time may result in increased sensitivity to catecholamines. In individuals with coronary artery disease, exacerbations of angina, myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrhythmias have been seen in response to sudden medication discontinuation. When necessary, beta-blocker medication should be stopped gradually in patients with coronary insufficiency over the course of one to two weeks with progressive dosage reductions. Patients should be warned not to stop taking their medications without first speaking to their doctor. Beta-blocker therapy should typically be resumed, at least briefly, in patients who experience an aggravation of angina after discontinuing it, along with other clinically relevant therapies.

How to manage the interaction:
You should not abruptly discontinue using Ziblok-50 Tablet. Stopping abruptly may aggravate your issue.If you are being treated for high blood pressure, continue to take this medication even if you feel OK. Symptoms of high blood pressure are not always present. You might require blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
ATENOLOL-50MGOther peripheral vascular diseases
Severe
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
Beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking drugs, often known as beta-blockers, decrease cardiac output and may cause or exacerbate symptoms of arterial insufficiency in patients with peripheral vascular disease because of their detrimental inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart. Additionally, by inhibiting beta-2 receptors in peripheral arteries, nonselective beta-blockers may reduce catecholamine-mediated vasodilation during exercise. Patients with peripheral vascular disease should receive beta-blocker therapy with caution. It is essential to keep a close eye on the arterial obstruction's development.

How to manage the interaction:
Do not discontinue Ziblok-50 Tablet without first consulting your doctor. Stopping abruptly may aggravate your issue.
ATENOLOL-50MGAsthma
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Ziblok-50 Tablet:
In general, beta-blockers, particularly cardioselective beta-blockers, should not be administered to patients with bronchospasm. Cardioselective beta-blockers may be used in individuals with bronchospastic illness who do not respond to or cannot tolerate other antihypertensive medications due to their relative beta-1 selectivity. It is best to use these drugs at the lowest dose possible because beta-1 selectivity is not always present. To prevent the increased plasma levels brought on by the longer dosing intervals, think about giving smaller doses. If the dosage must be raised, splitting the dose may be an option to reduce peak blood levels. It is advised to have bronchodilators, such as beta-2 agonists, on hand or to deliver them simultaneously if necessary.

How to manage the interaction:
Ziblok-50 Tablet in general, Should not be used in patients with asthma.it should be used with caution in individuals with asthma who do not react to or cannot tolerate alternative medications for lowering blood pressure . If the dose needs be raised, dividing it should be explored to attain lower peak blood levels.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: The blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. High blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats or pumps out blood. Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between the heartbeats. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) by a blood pressure monitor called a sphygmomanometer. Some of the symptoms are headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, altered vision, chest pain, weakness, and shortness of breath. However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.

Arrhythmia: It is a problem associated with the rate of rhythm at which the heart beats. Generally, in this condition, the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. It can lead to severe heart damage. A cardiac arrhythmia occurs when there are abnormal electrical signals in the heart. When the heart beats too fast, it is known as tachycardia, and if it is too slow, it is called bradycardia. Treatment of arrhythmia includes drugs, medical procedures, implantable devices and sometimes surgery.
