[|Human|] I am 60 years old. I am taking Aten-25 for almost 12 years. My BP is under control. Except said tablet, i do not need to take any medicine. My health is absolutely fine. Please let me know(1) is it necessary that tablet should be taken only after light breakfast or otherwise? and (2) what is the side effect with taking said tab for lifetime. Needless to add that right now there is no apperant side effects since starting taking this tab till date.
[|AI|]  Hi yes the tablet should be taken along with breakfast or after it, though it can be taken even after lunch also, basic theory behind this is that you hour not be empty stomach at the time of taking this medicine, and should repeat the dose exactly after 24 hours the advantage of taking this medicine along with breakfast i.e. 8am is that serum cortisol(hormone increasing BP) is more active during morning times so BP can shoot up at that time so its advised that it should be taken in morning with breakfastatenolol is a beta blocker, if we go by books there are a number of side effect, but practically you are on 12 years without any side effect, it's a very safe Chat Doctor.
