Atelol, Atenolol

Atelol is used in the treatment of angina, arrhythmia, heart attack and increased blood pressure.

Atelol works by blocking tiny areas called the beta-adrenergic receptors, where messages sent by some nerves are received by the heart and blood vessels. Atelol causes the heart beats more slowly and with less force. Thus leading to pressure of blood within your blood vessels to be reduced and it is easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
