slows down the strength of the heart`s contractions and reduces its oxygen requirements and the volume of blood it has to pump.
Atenolol can be used:
as antihypertensive treatment for raised blood pressure,
as anti-angina treatment to relieve symptoms and
to improve tolerance
as anti-arrhythmatic to help regulate heartbeat and
to treat myocardial infarctions.
It is also used in the management of alcohol withdrawal, in anxiety states, migraine prophylaxis,hyperthyroidism, and tremor.
Administration can be oral as tablets, capsules or a syrup, or by injection. It is also available as an antihypertensive treatment in the form of compound preparations with diuretics.
Atenolol can be used for the prophylaxis of migraine but propanolol is more effective and is considered to be the treatment of choice. Long term treatment may be necessary but is controversial
Beta blockers in general including atenolol have become drugs of first choice in patients with essential tremor, needing regular medication. Propanolol is by far the best predominantly due to blockade of beta2 receptors on extrafusal muscle fibres and muscle spindles, although there may be some CNS effect.
