Atenolol is a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulatory system. Atenolol is used to lower blood pressure, lower heart rate, reduce chest pain (angina), and to reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks. Beta-blockers are competitive inhibitors and interfere with the action of stimulating hormones on beta-adrenergic receptors in the nervous system.
