COMPOSITION

Amlodipine

Atenolol

• Class of medications: Beta-blockers
• Atenolol has often been used as a reference drug in randomized controlled trials of hypertension.
• Pharmacologically atenolol’s lack of a sympathomimetic effect could be expected to be an advantage, as beta-blockers without this effect seem to be better in reducing blood pressure, at least in severe hypertension.
