How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Atenolol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Atenolol is a beta 1 -selective (cardioselective) beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent without membrane stabilizing or intrinsic sympathomimetic (partial agonist) activities.
This preferential effect is not absolute, however, and at higher doses, atenolol inhibits beta 2 -adrenoreceptors, chiefly located in the bronchial and vascular musculature.
Unlike propranolol or metoprolol, but like nadolol, atenolol undergoes little or no metabolism by the liver, and the absorbed portion is eliminated primarily by renal excretion.
Approximately 50% of an oral dose is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, the remainder being excreted unchanged in the feces.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Atenolol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Atenolol tablets are contraindicated in sinus bradycardia, heart block greater than first degree, cardiogenic shock, and overt cardiac failure.
- (See WARNINGS.) Atenolol tablets are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the atenolol or any of the drug product's components.
