My cardiologist had prescribed me Atenolol 25 mg, half a tablet morning and evening. He decided to stop it gradually and I was wondering how I could do that: skip every other day? or another frequency?

I have had arrhythmia for 8 years but I have had operations that have almost made it disappear. As for other medications, I take: Flecainide 50 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening, Eliquis 5 mg in the morning and in the evening, Atorvastatin 10 mg in the evening, Vitamin D 4000 in the morning and in the evening

Hello,
To progressively decrease your Atenolol to be able to stop it completely as your doctor said, you can start by taking 1/2 tablet only in the morning for 7 days. If all goes well, you can then take 1/2 tablet in the morning every other day for 7 days and then stop it
