A member asked:
How safe and effective is atenolol?can it hurt my heart in the long run?is it safe for my heart?is long term use ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why are you on it: Beta blockers don't harm directly the heart or other organs. But like all medications have side effects. Why are you on it ? If you are talking for blood pressure control it is meant to prevent long term effects on your heart. But remember all medications have side effect.
