A member asked:
My friend said her primary care physician said that atenolol is of hardly any value for anyone having hypertension and that it is mainly prescribed for those with heart problems. i think my own 50mg of atenolol was to lower my hypertension. ideas?

Atenolol is not the first tier drug use for essential hypertension. However, in certain comorbid conditions atenolol can be used (a stone is used to kill 2 birds). If you do not have any comorbid condition such as cardiac arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, etc. then atenolol should not be used as the first tier drug but it is not an absolute contraindication, i.e. it can still be used. Good luck.
