Question

Hey, my mom's 60 and she's been feeling this heaviness in her chest. They prescribed her Cidmus 50. I'm really curious about why this specific medication is used and what condition it's usually meant to treat?

Cidmus 50 is given to treat angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. Cidmus 50 contains the active ingredient Atenolol, which helps to reduce the workload on the heart and decrease its oxygen demand. The usual dosage of Cidmus 50 for angina is 50-100mg once daily.
