Atenolol (Generic Tenormin)
What is Atenolol?
Atenolol is a medication belonging to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers. It operates by blocking certain natural chemicals in your body, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart, enabling better blood flow and reducing the risk of heart-related complications.
What is Atenolol used to treat?
Atenolol is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). Additionally, after a heart attack, Atenolol is used to improve survival rates. Managing high blood pressure effectively helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
What are the common side effects of Atenolol?
Common side effects of Atenolol include fatigue, dizziness, and cold hands/feet. Other side effects may include depression, shortness of breath, and bradycardia (slow heart rate). In rare instances, Atenolol can prompt severe side effects; if you experience symptoms like blue fingers/toes or trouble breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
