Question : I take 25mg of atenolol. I take it on split dosis. 12.5mg at 11AM and 12.5mg at 7PM. I find that splitting the dosis works well for me. Is this ok?

Atenolol daily dose should be divided two times a day...

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking to HCM!

It's recommended that total daily dose of atenolol should be divided two times a day. This is exactly what you are already doing and i encourage to do so.

Hope this answer your query!
