replies: text: Wikipedia is not the place to ask or receive personal advice. Best option would be to ask your friend directly - it would likely show your support to them, allow them to open up and talk about themselves indirectly: are the medicines for hypertension or heart problems - talking about the medicines is less awkward than asking directly about their health and any concerns or fears they might have.

thread_title:  Diagnosis question 

message: I was going to add Noten to the list of trade names of atenolol, but then I realised this drug has a bajillion of them, so I decided against it. (As it's only called noten in several backwater countries...)
Still, would it be a good idea to put a list of commercial trade names on this drug's page?
Here is but a short list:
Alinor; Altol; Anselol; Antipressan; Apo-Atenolol; Atcardil; Atecard; AteHexal; Atelol; Atenblock; Atendol; Atenet; Ateni; Atenil; Atenol; Atereal; Aterol; Atolmin; Betablok; Betacard; Blokium; B-Vasc; Catenol; Coratol; Corotenol; Evitocor; Farnormin; Felo-Bits; Hypoten; Hipres; Internolol; Lo-ten; Loten; Lotenal; Myocord; Normalol; Normiten; Noten; Oraday; Premorine; Prenolol; Seles; Serten; Stermin; Tenidon; Tenoblock; Tenolin; Tenolol; Tenoprin; Tenormin; Tenormine; Tensig; Tensimin; Tredol; Urosin; Vascoten; Vericordin; Wesipin; Xaten
Any suggestions as to what to do? Anybody on one of these trade names and not knowledgable enough to search for atenolol won't find this page.

replies: text: Tenormin is the branded trade name in US, UK,jordan, and Australia for the innovator company AstraZeneca.  I would list only that name. --Chrispounds 01:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The drug has been out of patent for a long time now. Some countries don't have a tradition of generic prescribing, and it's quite normal for different makers to dream up their own proprietary names for what is basically a generic drug in these markets. I don't think it makes sense to list all possible obscure proprietary names in the article on the offchance that somebody will be too clueless to search on the generic name. The generic name should always be listed on the packaging anyway. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Millions of trade names! 

message: I added an outside link to a Medscape article  which discusses a recent review showing that atenolol increases CV events. The proposed mechanism is that slowing the heart rate by non-vasodilating beta blockade increases central pressure... or it could be some effect peculiar to atenolol. I'd think that this info should be promoted some day by someone :) to a section in the body of the article.

thread_title:  atenolol danger 

message: This article is a little short on references. Also it is slightly UK centric. We need more citations and it would be good to have a word (just a few lines) on its development or history. The drug is considered by a lot of doctors to be a little old-fashioned. What replaces it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingermint (talk • contribs) 20:03, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
