Atenolol adds to the Almus® Range
February 2005

Atenolol is now available in all three strengths from Almus Pharmaceuticals range of generic medicines. The new addition to the range is presented in a mint-green pack with a yellow strip for the 25mg, sky blue for the 50mg and grape-purple for the 100mg.

Almost two years since the launch of their generic range, Atenolol joins a growing portfolio of products currently standing at 130 in addition to offering market leading service levels and a commitment to cost-effective generics. This winning combination, underpinned by boldly-coloured and safety conscious packaging, is now more widely available with new distributors and wholesalers to supply Almus® nationwide.

"The benefits of the Almus® colour conscious packaging system have an increasingly significant role in a working environment where the average pharmacy dispenses 200 items a day or about one every three minutes and, where nearly 90% of community pharmacists claim their standard of work has been affected by workload volumes, most believing this had put patient safety at risk", says Sarah Cox, Marketing Manager, Almus Pharmaceuticals UK.
