A member asked:

Is it safe to take 12.5mg of atenolol as needed for fast heart rate..some days it's more bothersome than others?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Atenolol: Atenolol 12.5 mg taken episodically can be fine in the right patient. Discuss with the prescribing dr. But if your heart rate is due to your anxiety problem, situational use of the agent is usually ok.
