Pharmacology - Atenolol ​

Pharmacology - Atenolol ​
​The Actions of Atenolol
By reducing cardiac output, renin release, and sympathetic activity that is mediated by the central nervous system, it lowers blood pressure in hypertensive individuals.

During angina, the heart slows down and the metabolic demand decreases.

Modes of Action 
blocking the activity of endogenous and exogenous agonists on 1-receptors is the goal of this study.

The process of absorbing, distributing, and eliminating 
Orally absorbed; plasma t½ 4 hours; livers are responsible for metabolism.

Use in Clinical Settings 
Blood pressure that is high. This is angina. During myocardial infarction, the prevention of dysrhythmia is important.

Adverse Effects 
Bronch constriction in individuals with asthma and emphysema; the possibility of heart block or heart failure in people with coronary disease; a diminished sympathetic warning to hypoglycemia in diabetic patients are all potentially dangerous.
Cold extremities and weariness are discomforting symptoms.

Atenolol is water-soluble, has the potential to penetrate the central nervous system, and may produce nightmares. Due to the fact that oxprenolol possesses some intrinsic sympatho-sympathomimetic activity, it alleviates bradycardia and reduces the sensation of coldness in the hands and feet.
