atenolol
Treats high pressure
Atenolol is a medication that slows heart rate and reduces blood pressure.
It belongs to a class of drugs called beta-blockers, prescribed for hypertension, angina, and irregular heartbeat.
Unlike some beta-blockers, atenolol primarily affects the heart rather than the lungs or blood vessels: My doctor switched me to atenolol for my blood pressure.
