  • General Drug Information and Indications

    Atenolol is used to treat dogs and cats with heart problems due to an abnormal or irregular rhythm, and animals with high blood pressure. It is a member of the family of drugs called beta blockers. These drugs are commonly used for similar purposes in human medicine. Beta blockers slow down the heart rate and reduce the amount of oxygen that the heart muscle needs to function. The use of beta blockers can help the heart function better and more efficiently.

    Like many other drugs in veterinary medicine, this drug is not FDA approved for use in animals and is not available from a veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturer. Instead, it is compounded by a specialty pharmacy.

    General Drug Information and Indications

    Clopidogrel is used to prevent the formation of blood clots. It is a commonly used drug in human medicine and is sold under the trade name of Plavix. In humans, Clopidogrel is used for patients who have had strokes, or are at risk for having a stroke, and in patients that may be at risk for a heart attack due to a blood clot.

    Clopidogrel works on platelets, which are the blood cells that are responsible for clot formation. It has a different mechanism of action than aspirin, which is also used in animals or humans that are at risk for blood clots. Clopidogrel is used in veterinary medicine in cats that are at risk for having a blood clot, particularly those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is also used in dogs with clotting disorders such as immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. There has been more research on the use of clopidogrel in cats than in dogs.

    Clopidogrel may be combined with aspirin or it may be used on its own in animals that are unable to tolerate aspirin. Like many other drugs in veterinary medicine, this drug is not FDA approved for use in animals and is not available from a veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturer. Instead, it is compounded by a specialty pharmacy.

    Precautions

    Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children. Atenolol is a prescription drug and should be used according to your veterinarian's directions. It should only be given to the animal for which it was prescribed. Do not give this medication to a person.

    Atenolol should not be used when the heart is beating too slowly, in animals with low blood pressure, or in animals with circulatory problems or circulatory blockages.

    Atenolol should be used with caution in animals that are unstable due to congestive heart failure. Usually your veterinarian will start treatment with other drugs, such as diuretics, before beginning atenolol.

    Older animals and those with kidney problems or diabetes may need additional monitoring.

    Atenolol crosses the placenta and is found in maternal milk. Tell your veterinarian if your pet becomes pregnant or is nursing.

    Drug Interactions

    Be sure to review with your veterinarian any medications or supplements your pet may be receiving. Animals that are being given atenolol usually have complex heart problems and may be receiving multiple drugs. There are a number of drug interactions for atenolol.

    Atenolol may increase the effects of many drugs that are used for anesthesia.

    Atenolol may block the effect of many drugs that are used to increase heart rate or increase blood pressure.
