Hello there, what is the difference between atenolol vs metropolol are there advantages disadvantages? is one brokendown in the liver vs the kid

Atenolol/metoprolol: Atenolol is metabolized in kidney. Metoprolol is metabolized by liver. So, if there is a dysfunction of either organ, then would prefer using the other beta blocker. Atenolol has a variable amount of activity, so if taken once daily, may not last full 24hr. For most cardiovascular conditions, metoprolol is typically preferred. It comes in a twice daily (Lopressor) or once daily (Toprol XL)
