Yes, there are plenty of other options and if one is ineffective your doctor may prescribe a different medication. Some examples include Ramipril, Perindopril and Amlodipine as well as beta-blockers such Bisoprolol.

Bisoprolol tablets and Atenolol tablets are both a form of medication known as Beta-Blockers which slow down heart rate making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This helps reduce blood pressure. Although they function similarly Bisoprolol tablets are a newer medication that better targets the cardiovascular system and is more often prescribed.

If you have been taking Atenolol tablets for a while and they have proved effective your doctor will likely keep you on this medication. For newer patients, Bisoprolol is generally the first choice beta-blocker.

There may be a slight price difference between the two medications. Speak to your doctor or prescriber if you are unsure which beta-blocker medication is best for you.
