What Experts Say

Atenolol blocks the effect of adrenaline on the heart, which slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure.

It is usually taken once daily, and Pakistani patients with hypertension or heart disease are often kept on it long term alongside lifestyle changes.

Stopping atenolol suddenly can cause a rebound rise in blood pressure or chest pain, so any dose change should be done gradually under medical supervision.
