What is Atenolol (generic Tenormin) and what are its uses?

Tenormin (Atenolol) belongs to a group of medicines called Beta-blockers.

Beta-blockers reduce the workload on the heart and help it to beat more regularly. 

Tenormin controls, but does not cure, high blood pressure (hypertension).

Tenormin also relieves chest pain (angina), and can be helpful after a heart attack. Sometimes Tenormin is used to help prevent migraine headaches.

How does Atenolol (generic Tenormin) treat?

Tenormin tablets contain the active ingredient Atenolol, which is a type of medicine called a Beta-blocker. Beta-blockers work by blocking beta-receptors that are found in various parts of the body. Blocking beta-receptors prevents the action of two chemicals, called noradrenaline and adrenaline, which are produced naturally by the body. These are often referred to as the 'fight or flight' chemicals, because they are responsible for the body's reaction to stressful situations.

Beta receptors are found in the heart. When they are blocked by Tenormin in the heart is made to beat more slowly and with less force. This reduces the pressure at which the blood is pumped out of the heart and around the body. This in turn reduces blood pressure, which means that Tenormin can be used to treat high blood pressure. It also reduces the energy used by the heart to pump blood around the body, and so reduces the heart's need for oxygen, which means it can also be used in the management of angina.

Angina is chest pain that occurs because the heart does not get enough oxygen to meet demand, such as when doing exercise. Tenormin reduces the workload of the heart and so decreases its demand for oxygen. This helps to prevent attacks of angina.

Slowing the heart rate helps to control abnormal heart beats called arrhythmias. Arrhythmias can seriously undermine the pumping action of the heart and result in inefficient blood circulation around the body. Tenormin corrects the abnormal heartbeat and thus can be used to treat arrhythmias.
