| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What type of drug is Atenolol? | Beta Blocker; Antianginal. Blocks stimulation of beta1-adrenergic receptors/decrease BP & HR, decrease # of angina pectoris attacks, & prevention of MI |
| What are possible side effects of Atenolo? | Bradycardia, CHF, Pulmonary edema, fatigue, weakness, erectile dysfunction |
| What type of drug is Metoprolol? | Beta Blocker; Antianginal. Blocks stimulation of beta1-adrenergic receptors/decrease BP & HR, decrease # of angina pectoris attacks. Decrease rate of cardio. mortality & hosp. in pts w/heart failure |
