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

To gradually stop taking Atenolol as prescribed by your doctor, you can start by taking half a tablet in the morning for 7 days. If everything goes well, you can then take half a tablet in the morning every 2 days for 7 days before stopping completely.
