Atenex 50 Tablet 14 contains atenolol (50 mg). Here's how it works:

Beta-1 Receptor Blocking: Atenolol competitively inhibits the binding of certain body-produced substances like epinephrine to beta-1 receptors in your heart. This action reduces heart rate and contractility, thereby decreasing the workload on the heart.
Reduced Blood Pressure: Atenolol effectively decreases blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and slowing down the heart rate. This action reduces the risk of serious hypertension-related complications, such as stroke or kidney problems.
Improved Survival Post Heart Attack: When initiated after a heart attack, atenolol helps lower the risk of cardiovascular mortality by maintaining steady blood pressure levels and reducing strain on the heart.
