Who makes tenormin?
Have you ever taken tenormin without knowing who makes it? Fear not, my curious friend. In this article, we’ll be delving into the world of pharmaceutical companies to find out who is responsible for your daily dose of beta blockers.
What is Tenormin?
Before we dive into our investigation on the manufacturer of tenormin, let’s first take a moment to understand what exactly this medication is. Tenormin is the brand name for atenolol tablets – a type of medication used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina).
The Search Begins
As a curious cat myself, I decided to embark on this journey with enthusiasm and unmatched curiosity. My journey took me down an endless rabbit hole filled with medical jargon that could put any layman in a state of confusion for days!
After hours upon hours spent scouring various websites (including some very questionable ones), my search finally yielded results.
Who Makes Tenormin?
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce… drumroll please… TENORMIN IS MANUFACTURED BY ASTRAZENECA UK LIMITED!
Ahem, excuse my over-enthusiastic outburst there. But it really is quite exciting when you finally find the answer after all that searching.
AstraZeneca UK Limited
AstraZeneca UK Limited is – as its name suggests – based in the United Kingdom and has been around since 1999. They specialize in developing therapies for cardiovascular diseases (like hypertension) as well as conditions such as asthma, cancer and more.
Other Products Manufactured by AstraZeneca UK Ltd
In addition to manufacturing tenormin tablets they also manufacture several other medicines including:
- Crestor
- Nexium
- Faslodex
- Iressa
Personally speaking however, I would not recommend self-prescribing these meds just because they share the same manufacturer as tenormin.
AstraZeneca: The Bigger Picture
If you’re really interested in pharmaceuticals, you may also be curious to learn that AstraZeneca is actually a pretty big player in the industry. In fact, they are one of the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world and have operations spanning all major continents.
A Brief History of Atenolol
Ahem, excuse me for interrupting your eager search for knowledge but allow me please to take a slight detour back into history and talk about atenolol for just a moment.
Atenolol was first developed by ChemDiv Inc., before its development was taken up by ICI Pharmaceuticals (which later went on to become part of AstraZeneca). It has been used since 1976 to treat cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and angina pectoris while also having some off label uses like managing alcohol withdrawal symptoms or migraines among others.
How Does Tenormin Work?
Tenormin works by blocking beta receptors which slows heart rate reducing blood pressure this includes arteries surrounding heart which widens them allowing more oxygen-rich blood through it thereby decreasing chest pain(known as ‘angina pectoris’). That’s why it’s classified under Beta blockers medications – belonging specifically to class II antiarrythmic agents. Basically long days short, simply put Tenormin keeps your ticker from going too fast, slowing down heart rate effectively lowering high BP or controlling chest pains triggered by angina..
Isn’t That Fascinating?
Okay fine, perhaps I’m getting carried away here…let’s get back on track shall we?
Conclusion
So there you have it folks! You can sleep well tonight knowing exactly who manufactures your daily dose of atenol tablets – none other than AstraZeneca UK Limited. While I certainly don’t recommend getting your medical advice from strange articles online, it’s always good to know who is responsible for creating the medicines that keep us healthy.
Important Disclaimers
Before taking any medication at all, please ensure you get a doctor or pharmacist to properly assess your condition and discuss prior allergies and side-effects which may arise with intake of certain medications including tenormin. Remember: self-medicating could potentially be harmful especially when done without accurate background knowledge!
If You Must Take Medication…
Please make sure (for the love of all that is holy) -Read the prescribed drug labels carefully so as not to overdose or misuse drugs intentionally; also know that alcohol can increase blood pressure significantly thereby triggering hypertension(high BP) in few individuals so drink moderately if you must!
