What does Atenolol do?

Atenolol, a medicine that belongs to the beta-blockers group, is used to treat high blood pressure and other heart problems like angina and uneven heartbeat.

Atenolol blocks the effects of adrenaline, the hormone that causes the heart to beat faster. Beta-blockers slow down the heartbeat and make it work harder, which can lead to lower blood pressure.

Hypertension and heart problems are caused by many factors such as family history, a diet high in salt, or being overweight, or being inactive.

To prevent serious conditions such as stroke, heart attack, or blood clots, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, drinking less, and exercising more.
