Tenolol-12.5 Tablet contains atenolol (12.5 mg), which acts on your body in several ways:

Slows Heart Rate: Atenolol works by slowing down your heart rate.
Reduces Force of Heart Contractions: By reducing the force with which your heart contracts, atenolol lessens the strain on your heart.
Improves Blood Flow: Atenolol helps to relax the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and subsequently decreasing blood pressure.
Reduces Heart's Oxygen Demand: By slowing down the heart rate and reducing the force of heart contractions, atenolol lowers the amount of oxygen that your heart needs to function. This contributes to the relief of angina symptoms and reduces the risk of complications after a heart attack.
