What is Atenolol and How to Take It
Atenolol, commonly available as Tenormin, is a prescription drug for treating hypertension, heart failure and chest pain. Some Atenolol uses that are off-label uses include irregular rapid heartbeats, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, prevention of migraines and thyrotoxicosis. Atenolol is a beta-blocker. These types of drugs reduce blood pressure and heart rate. This helps take the strain off your heart, improving cardiovascular function. Atenolol may be prescribed independently or alongside other medications depending on your condition.
Atenolol prescription medication is classified as a beta1-selective adrenoreceptor-blocking agent. Beta-blockers mainly work by blocking the effects of the hormone adrenaline, also called epinephrine. Once that happens, your blood vessels dilate, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Furthermore, Beta-blockers also cause reduce the heartbeat by causing the muscles in your heart to relax. This reduces the workload on the heart. Atenol specifically has cardioselective properties and has different effects on the blood vessels.

The Atenolol anxiety dosage, Atenolol for migraine and Atenolol dosage for the elderly will vary. Hence it is important to consult with a doctor.
Tenormin can be given intravenously in a clinic/hospital setup. There is a specific best time to take Atenolol.
