Atenolol: A beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and reduces the force with which the heart contracts.

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease

This combination medication works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing down the heart rate. Amlodipine widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, while atenolol reduces the heart's workload by lowering heart rate and strength of contractions. This combined effect helps lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
