How does atenolol work?
Atenolol is a cardioselective beta blocker that selectively binds to the beta-1 adrenergic receptors found in vascular smooth muscle and the heart. It works by blocking the action of certain chemicals in the body, such as adrenaline, that can increase heart rate and blood pressure. By reducing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, atenolol helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart.

Dosage of atenolol
The dosage of atenolol may vary depending on the individual’s condition, medical history, and response to the medication. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions the healthcare provider provides.
Directions for atenolol use
Atenolol should be taken exactly as directed by the healthcare provider. The medication is usually taken orally, with or without food. It is important to take atenolol consistently and continue the prescribed treatment course. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses. Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
