Description:
Tenormin 50mg contains Atenolol, a beta-blocker that helps manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and protects the heart from cardiovascular events. Atenolol works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart’s workload, which lowers blood pressure and prevents angina (chest pain). It is also used to reduce the risk of heart attacks and maintain overall heart health.
