What does it do?

Atenolol is an ingredient belonging to the beta-blocker class and is primarily used to treat hypertension and heart-related diseases. This ingredient helps lower blood pressure by reducing the heart's workload.

Atenolol reduces heart rate and weakens the heart's strength by blocking specific receptors in the heart. This reduces the pressure exerted on the blood vessels, thereby regulating blood pressure.
