Atenolol Powder By Vj Enterprise

we are the popular distributor and supplier of Atenolol Powder in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Atenolol is a selective I 1 receptor antagonist, a drug belonging to the group of beta blockers (sometimes written I -blockers), a class of drugs used primarily in cardiovascular diseases. Introduced in 1976, atenolol was developed as a replacement for propranolol in the treatment of hypertension. It works by slowing down the heart and reducing its workload. Unlike propranolol, atenolol does not readily pass through the blooda brain barrier, thus decreasing the incidence of central nervous system side effects. Atenolol is one of the most widely used I -blockers in the United Kingdom and was once the first-line treatment for hypertension.[citation needed] Atenolol is effective at reducing blood pressure, but recent studies indicate that it does not reduce the morbidity or mortality caused by hypertension, and may even increase mortality in some subgroups. This means that when people take this drug, they get better blood pressure numbers, but they still die of heart attacks and strokes, despite the lower blood pressure.
