Atenolol? Atenol is a common misspelling of atenolol.
People who experience certain conditions of the heart and blood vessels may benefit from atenolol (Tenormin®). Specifically, this prescription medication is approved to control high blood pressure, relieve angina symptoms, and improve survival after a heart attack. However, atenolol is not suitable for everyone. Side effects are possible with the medication, such as dizziness, depression, and shortness of breath. Before taking atenolol, make sure your healthcare provider is aware of any other medical conditions you have and any other medications you are taking, including vitamins and supplements.
