What does it do?

S-Atenolol is a drug belonging to the beta-blocker class, primarily used to treat high blood pressure. This ingredient works on the heart and blood vessels to lower blood pressure. It is included in pharmaceuticals for blood pressure control.

S-Atenolol blocks the beta receptors in the heart, reducing heart rate and the burden on the heart. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases. This helps in controlling blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
