WorkingAtenolol IP blocks the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This leads to a lowering of the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. A beta receptor that induces the heart rate to go up, beta-blocker prevents adrenaline from affecting beta receptors in the blood vessels and heart. This relaxes the blood vessels. Due to relaxing the vessels, it lowers blood pressure and reduces chest pain.
