Safely Buy Tenormin ( Atenolol ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Tenormin is a heart medication used to treat chest pain (angina) and high blood pressure (hypertension).

Atenolol is a beta-selective adrenoceptor blocker that binds to vascular and heart smooth muscles to inhibit certain interactions with other chemicals that stimulate blood flow. This action allows Tenormin to reduce your blood pressure and heart muscle contractions.

This beta blocker medication is an effective treatment for hypertension and for preventing and managing angina. Tenormin is generally well-tolerated and since it has no partial agonist or membrane stabilizing activity it does not cross the brain threshold barrier, allowing for a lower incidence of adverse events than those that do.
