Atenolol is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). It belongs to a class of drugs called beta-blockers, which work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels, thus slowing the heart rate and reducing blood pressure.
Product Introduction: Atenolol was introduced in the late 1970s and has been widely prescribed since then.
Uses: Atenolol is commonly prescribed for the following conditions:
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Angina (chest pain)
- Prevention of heart attacks
- Treatment of certain types of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
Benefits: Atenolol helps to lower blood pressure, reduce the workload on the heart, and decrease the risk of heart-related complications such as heart attacks and strokes. It can also help alleviate symptoms associated with angina and certain arrhythmias.
