A member asked:

I take 25mg of atenolol and i have also tried the same dosage of tenormin. i know they are both the same but why does atenolol seem last longer for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Atenolol: excellent question, sometimes we see variation between equal doses of drugs caused by the different fillers used to make the pills by different manufacturers. Other reasons are also possible.
